Millennials will go back to farming, but wont settle for tradition -  is a story that Scott wrote for The Des Moines Register.

Nearly 100 million acres of farmland will change hands between 2015 and 2019. For young farmers such as myself, it’s an extremely expensive barrier to entry into the farming world if you don’t have family ties in the industry. Often times, the only way to get started without a family connection is to work in livestock, vegetables or food grade products that offer a premium.
