Ironically. the industry is expanding by leaps and bounds According to a recent United States Department of Agriculture study. "The supply of qualified agriculture and horticulture graduates is 15 percent below the demand." JOB OPPORTUNITIES for qualified graduates in the field are plentiful due to

^ expansion in horticultural ^ services such as landscapp ing and grounds mainn tenance. Also, computers and other technology are .. creating new careers in the i- field.
