A demographic crisis in American farming—the average farmer is now 60—is being partially addressed by Gen Z and younger millennials building followings by making agriculture visually appealing and personality-driven on TikTok and Instagram. Agriculture has a real succession problem: USDA data shows farm operators under 35 comprise only 10% of the total. Social media visibility is converting farming from an invisible, aging industry into something aspirational for younger people considering their careers. For Gen Z, if it's not documented and aestheticized online, it doesn't exist. The future of farming may depend less on USDA subsidies and more on who can make it look interesting to their peers.
