Agriculture remains a critical part of the economy. Although the American economy has pivoted towards service-based sectors and technology, agriculture is still a huge driver of growth, especially in Midwestern markets. Agriculture is also a huge portion of U.S. exports, as China purchases a significant number of soybeans and other farm products each year. Farmers in the U.S. grow a diverse range of products, from pigs, to beef, to milk, to fruits and vegetables. Agriculture professionals understand the key tradeoffs and difficult decisions that must be made in the industry.
