This two-year applied program provides students with hands-on experiences and current knowledge of production and management techniques on the College’s 130-acre farm. The successful operation of a farm is a mainstay in rural America and providing students with experience in sales, service, production, management, marketing, and research are key to a healthy rural community.

This program is designed to give students an option for applied skills and knowledge that allow them to seek employment in the farming industry or to engage in a farming operation. Samples of the topics students will experience include, but are not limited to, the following: Farm operations and production techniques, agricultural sales and marketing, crop and animal science, along with finance and record keeping. Students will develop computer skills to support farm operations including an introduction to global positioning systems, data collection, and geospatial mapping.

An Associate of Applied Science Degree is awarded upon completion of the curriculum.
