I have been a city girl my entire life, and I have no agricultural background at all. I have wanted to do something in agriculture since grade one, and have spent many hours reading about farming. I participated in my province's Envirothon competition as the soils topic expert and learned a fair bit, and I am planning to enter the University next year and pursue a degree in either Agriculture, Agroecology, or Genetics depending on how my first year goes. Am I just wasting my time and money only to discover in a few years when I graduate that I hate agriculture? I was hoping I could spend my summer before university working on a farm, but that isn't possible since I have no transportation. How many people do you guys know in your little agricultural community who have come from the city?
