Its seems that young farmers are only being generated from family farms. As the family farms dis-appear, so does the young farmers.
A young guy working for corporate operation is not considered a young farmer (my opinion). He might be driving a tractor for a corporate operation, yes. But he's punching a time card and doing things and treated much like a factory worker.
