With U.S. farm incomes hitting record levels in recent years as global grain prices have climbed, farmers have more money to spend on corn seed, harvesting combines, fertilizer and other products, fueling growth for the agribusiness industry. So, while many U.S. undergraduates continue to face a tough job market amid a slow-growing economy, agriculture students are benefiting from increased on-campus recruiting by agribusinesses such as Monsanto Co., DuPont Co.'s DuPont Pioneer and Deere DE.

<p>Two schools mentioned are Iowa State and Texas A&M. Maybe more biology and chemistry majors should think about studying agriculture.</p>
