The lack of interest among millennials and other recent college graduates in careers in farming and farm production support threatens the talent pipeline needed to drive innovation to meet the demands of feeding a future global population. Lack of career interest poses challenges in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage which sustains career interest in farming while inspiring the next generation of techno-oriented college graduates to enter the profession. The purpose of this qualitative transcendental phenomenological study was to develop an understanding of the decision-making experience of career choice among farmers, located in southwest Minnesota. Four themes emerged in this study and relate to the work perception, wanting or desire, family association, and the value of each day. The findings indicate the choice to farm is a combination of the work involved along with close familial ties. Farmers have a strong work ethic and take pride in their effort, choosing to farm because of the bonds that they form early in their lives with the land, environment, and family. Realistically farmers choose this career because they have access to both the land and equipment that often serve as a barrier to entry due to the initial expense outlay. Feelings and emotions of wanting and the desire to farm offer new meanings behind the experience of career choice in farming. The results lead to numerous recommendations that support strategies among various groups of leaders in farming, government, and the private sector for recruiting prospective farmers while supporting current younger farmers.
