Coding was taught in school in my day and we didn't all turn out to be programmers, so I think that is obvious. However, the previous poster suggested that there is no need for more professional farmers, so there is no need to teach farming.

When I was a student we were pushed into teaching. Today, I have friends who went with that push and are still on the job hunt many years later because so many others did the same.
