Abstract: Interest in agri-entrepreneurship is increasingly rapidly. While rural communities believe economic growth can come for entrepreneurship, little is being done within colleges of agriculture to prepare students to become entrepreneurs. We report the results of an undergraduate student survey of University of Missouri College of Agriculture students. We find that students are interested in this topic, and we find students lack knowledge in several key areas typically needed to develop an entrepreneurship mentality.
