Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic[流行病] sweeping across America’s farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges， such as flood， rising fuel prices and crop-eating insects. The country’s farmers are getting older， and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census[普查] figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.
Merrigan， a former college professor， is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of America’s farmers， her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No. 1 on a list of “useless” college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting， and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.
