He says a new image of
agriculture is developing as
young people see agriculture
as many fields of work in
addition to farming.
As vocational programs
expand to meet the demands
for agricultural training,
more teachers are needed,

situation in Pennsylvania is
typical. With opportunities
expanding, this year’s class
of agricultural education
candidates includes both
men and women.
The Job picture looks
excellent for these teacher
candidates, he says. While
their peers in other subject
H
areas look forward to stiff
competition for a handful of
teaching openings,
agricultural teachers arc in
prime demand. Other states
are writing McClay for news
of available agricultural
teachers. But it looks like
Pennsylvania will have none
to spare in the foreseeable

future.
There arc now 327
agricultural teachers in 212
Pennsylvania high schools
and area vocational
technical schools, according
to Dr, McClay. What’s more,
a number of schools plan tp
expand or add new programs
next year.
What’s the reason for this
sudden boom in agricultural
R
/ip -
education? High
school vocational
agriculture programs used
to come under the old Smith-
Hughes Act. By definition
they were pretty limited in
curriculum. In fact, they
excluded non-farm
agriculture.
Then in 1963 Congress
passed a new vocational
education act which changed
all this - making it possible
for students at the high
school level to enroll in any
field, knowledge or skill that
was useful to agriculture.
This meant greater
flexibility in curriculum and
opened the field to many
students who otherwise
would have overlooked a
career in agriculture.
At about the same time,
vocational agricultural
programs in the high schools
got a shot in the arm from
what McClay calls “the new
image of agriculture."
Agriculture is not just far
ming anymore in the eye of
the public, he explains.
Instead, there’s a growing
recognition that the field
includes not only farming
but the whole range of
agribusiness -- the
processing and marketing of
food and of agricultural
products, a growing industry
m ornamental horticulture,
forestry, agricultural
mechanics, the handling of
laboratory animals for all
kinds of research, and a
multitude of other job areas
that call for the special
knowledge and skills that
can be acquired through the
study of agriculture.
