They met at Ricks College, married and both graduated a few years later from the University of Idaho. Jonathan and Cara Shulberg say they're overly educated for the job. The job is a dairy farm near Terreton. SHULBERG "We milk about 150 cows. We raise all of our calves, own calves, steers and heifers. We farm about 700 acres, have three pivots and some flood ground and the majority of it is alfalfa. We put up big bales and little bales of alfalfa." So what does the future in agriculture hold for this couple and their two young children? SHULBERG "I think there's room in agriculture for everybody. I know you read a lot especially for dairies that you have to be big to make money and make a living. I think there's places for everyone. You have to be competitive; you have to do a good job with whatever you are doing. I think that's something the general public doesn't realize. Most farmers whether you just raise field crops or you have beef cows or dairy cows, there's a lot to it. You have to know what you are doing and have to do a good job. You have to take care of things well if you want to make money at it." The Shulbergs, Cara and Jonathan, Idaho Young Farmers and Ranchers. Voice of Idaho Agriculture Bill Scott
