From what I read they want to be hobby farmers.

Growing things for profit is darned hard, even hobby gardening.

I would say most Millennials are not up to traditional farming, even the high tech version. Yet hobby farms that can secure a farm to market/table business relationship can prosper. Throw in agri-tourism plus government largess and you might have a winning business paradigm.

“most of these millennial farmers have college degrees

Green Acres is the place to be.
Farm livin’ is the life for me.
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

New York is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square

You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.

Bump. My family has been doing it here since 1889. Before that in other places. It cannot be explained to those who grow up on asphalt.
