Igniting Passion for Agriculture
Visions In Ag shares agriculture opportunities with students, young people and professionals who are still finding their career path. Specifically, we open the door for people who’ve never considered the industry as their place.
When you look at agriculture from only one angle, you see tradition. You see rural places that feel far away.
A new vantage point expands your understanding.
Agriculture is complex and crucial, with potential and purpose that are easy to find. From the microbes in the soil to the halls of Congress, there are millions of points of view giving it life and shape.
We still need more.
USDA and Purdue predict 104,766 annual job openings in food, agriculture, renewable natural resources and the environment through 2030. Graduates from related programs will fill 47.8% of them.
We're expanding the industry's reach, building infrastructure to attract a new generation of agricultural business leaders. By sharing a modern, expansive look at agriculture, we connect talent to career pathways in food, natural resources, technology and more.
We bring the possibilities of agriculture into view.
"If your daughter can envision herself running NASA, but not an ag company, that's not her fault. That's ours."

New Generations
Boots are optional. Curiosity isn't.
Agriculture is bigger than you think. It’s a wide-open, modern industry full of opportunities from STEM and business to health and marketing. You already have a connection to it. Everybody does. There are coders, chemists, activists and architects behind the things we eat, wear and use every day. No matter what you’re into, there’s a path for you in agriculture.
You don't have to have your future figured out to start exploring it.
Mentors & Educators
Show a new generation what’s possible.
Many people learn about agriculture through narrow, outdated stereotypes. In reality, it’s an advanced industry that touches an array of disciplines across politics, science, business, technology, communications, trades and health.
Trusted adults, family members, teachers, counselors, and others encourage exploration and guide the new generation to realize their potential in successful agriculture careers. Relatable role models, backgrounds and stories make it easier to imagine a place in the industry.
Help someone take the first step to discover a future in agriculture.
Backed by the people who know the industry best.
