This research investigated agricultural knowledge and growing agricultural producers. The results revealed significant gaps in agricultural knowledge among growing agricultural producers. These gaps in agricultural knowledge can hinder the success and sustainability of growing agricultural producers. A quantitative study in which students at a large public university were asked about their firsthand interactions with agricultural production and experience, as well as their knowledge, awareness, and familiarity with agricultural issues. The study findings revealed the students' perceptions and understandings of agricultural practices, highlighting areas where further education and awareness are needed. An analysis of variance revealed significant differences between students with experience in agricultural production and those with a little less experience, implying that those with little exposure to agriculture may have done so in a context related to traditional rather than modern production. Agricultural literacy initiatives should be encouraged, and hands-on learning at agritourism sites, agricultural fairs, and expositions can enhance agricultural experiences.
