Public education in the United States may have come into being during decades when agriculture was the dominant activity in the society; however, the educational content has not been geared to agricultural activities for more than a century - at least.
I went to twelve years of public school in a small town located in the rural countryside during the 40's and 50's. In the entire twelves years there was only one (optional) course that pertained to agriculture.
It sounds like you have been pulling a Rip Van Winkle.
