Preparing the Next Generation for the Future of Agriculture | Dr. Frank Owsley
Monday, 17 August, 2026
What will it take to prepare the next generation to lead agriculture in a world changing faster than ever? In this episode of The Landowner Insider, Kasey Mock sits down with Dr. Frank Owsley of Tarleton State University's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources for a conversation about the future of agriculture, education, artificial intelligence, and the skills young people will need to succeed. As AI changes how we learn and work, Kasey and Dr. Owsley discuss why critical thinking, communication, confidence, understanding numbers, and real-world decision-making may become even more valuable—not less. They also explore what today's agriculture students need to understand about business and profitability, why hands-on experience still matters, how young people can better prepare themselves for college and careers, and how Tarleton is preparing students for an agricultural industry that could look very different five years from now. In this episode: What the next generation needs to succeed in agriculture How AI is changing education and the workplace Why critical thinking matters in an AI-driven world The importance of communication and real-world decision-making Why agriculture students need to understand business, numbers, and profitability The value of hands-on agricultural education Building confidence before entering college Preparing students for agricultural careers that are rapidly changing Tarleton State University's rapid growth What Tarleton must preserve as the university continues to expand This conversation goes beyond college degrees and technology. It's about preparing the next generation to think independently, adapt, solve problems, lead, and build meaningful careers in agriculture and beyond. Whether you're a student, parent, rancher, farmer, landowner, educator, or agricultural leader, this is a conversation about where the industry is headed—and whether we're preparing the next generation to lead it.
