Question by anonymous: Do I need to go to college for sustainable agriculture?
I want to simply start my own small (5-acre) diversified farm. There is only one decent college that offers practical sustainable agriculture that I have found and is located halfway across the country. I was thinking that the summer program at Sterling College and internships at farms for a few years might possibly suffice. Do I need to go to college to start a farm/restaurant? Do you know any good ones?

What do you think? Answer below!
