For what it’s worth my cohort’s top offer (in the mid 100s) only had experience on their family’s farm (keeping this vague for privacy) and had no degree at all. Really is just about putting in the work and also putting yourself out there.

A number of farmers are millionaires and run complex businesses.
From the USDA: "In 2021, the average U.S. farm household had $2,100,879 in wealth. Households operating commercial farms had $3.0 million in total wealth at the median, substantially more than the households of residence or intermediate farms."
