Oh. My. Goodness. Can they put this on billboards ALL OVER TEXAS? Because they should know, before casting their votes, that Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott spent the past decade letting China buy up 162,000 acres of Texas soil. Seems important.🚨

#TheOutpost 🌱🌿 More in comments
A remarkable cultural shift is quietly unfolding across the American education system as a new generation rejects purely digital environments in favor of the land. High schools nationwide are rapidly resurrecting agricultural and farming classes, rebuilding greenhouses and barns to keep up with an unexpected wave of enthusiasm. Elective spots that once sat empty for decades are now filling within hours, leaving schools overwhelmed and forcing them to implement extensive student waitlists. Far from viewing agriculture as a relic of the past, today’s youth are actively seeking out the tangible satisfaction of nurturing living things, building self-reliance, and understanding exactly where their food comes from.

This grassroots movement has culminated in a historic milestone for youth agricultural clubs. The National FFA Organization recently shattered all previous records by surpassing one million active student members for the first time in its nearly century-long history. Spanning nearly 10,000 chapters across rural, suburban and urban communities alike, this massive surge is redefining student leadership and career exploration. By blending traditional hands-on farming techniques with modern food systems, business and science, these students are proving that the future of agriculture is not just alive—it is the most sought-after ticket in the building.

“Industrial fresh-cut processors like Taylor Farms have a very different production model compared to that of a small-scale farmer—and this difference is worth considering when you buy greens,” writes Judith Redmond, co-founder of Full Belly Farm, in an op-ed.
