Jim Rogers on why agriculture is an attractive investment right now

Jim Rogers : "The most promising payback in agriculture is to become a farmer,"
"Farming can once again be one of the great areas of the world economy as economies of scale come into play, higher prices come into play, and technology comes into play. Few are rushing out to buy a farm yet; but it will come."
. "Someday it's going to be that America will be producing tens of thousands of agriculture graduates, as we did once upon a time, and there are not going to be many MBAs," said Rogers. "When the huge secular changes come, nobody can conceive of how high prices can go and will go and returns will go." said Jim Rogers in an exclusive executive interview with Greg Mellinger, CEO of HighQuest Partners, who will host the Global AgInvesting(SM) conference, April 23-25 in New York, where Rogers will be the keynote speaker.  - in marketwatch
