Employment of farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers is projected to grow
by almost 10 percent throughout the 2020's. Despite a projected decline in the number
of acres being used for farming, output is expected to remain steady due to increasing
crop yields. In addition, the demand for meats and dairy products should remain strong
and result in higher livestock production.
