    College towns are siphoning students out of the rural heart of the Farm Belt and sending them to urban centershttp://on.wsj.com/2s8U0vU

        Uh, this has been happening for the last 30 years. College grads go to where the jobs are, and they're not in rural America.

        This isn't the fault of "college towns", but a result of college itself opening doors to the world for their graduates.

        Any thoughts as to why? Gee whiz, not large enough subsidies I guess.

        They have always left but it is accelerating due to access to see what is possible via social media and the fact they need jobs.

        Many of them return to farms but have second job also. Economics of farming in current times.

        Beside the depopulation of the farm belt, the abandonment of professions linked to the land is another potential problem waiting to happen.

        Oh, what will the GOP do when rural white Americans get an education and realize they've been lied to by greedy, racist GOP propaganda?
