Today, the term “redneck” is often jokingly used to refer to people from rural communities who like to drink cheap beer and watch NASCAR. Did you know, though, that the term comes from the fact that people who worked in the fields would have red necks from being in the sun all day? It was – and still is, to many – a term that describes salt of the earth people who aren’t afraid to put in a hard day’s work. The world of agricultural isn’t just a world of corn and cows, though. Working in an agricultural job could mean that you live in a city and spend your time in a research facility or creating laws just as much as it could mean that your daily “suit” is a pair of overalls. One type of job is not more important than the other.
