Concern has grown among leaders in the American agricultural community that they will face shortages of qualified workers in the future. Coulter, Stanton, & Goecker (1986) anticipated about a 10% deficit of new college graduates with agricultural expertise through 1990. Now that the nineties have arrived and after several years of declining student enrollment in their agriculture programs, state universities and land grant colleges are beginning to experience an increase at the bachelors level (FAEIS, 1990). Enrollments, however, continue to decline in masters and doctoral programs (RICOP, 1990) and also in agriculture programs at the secondary school level. (NFFAC, 1989).
