Academic Skills Guide
 
The Agriculture Production Technology program prepares students for positions in the production sector of agriculture. Graduates have employment options of returning home to their home operation or seeking employment at other production sites. You can specialize in crop, swine or beef production by selecting electives specific to your interest area.

Your studies are divided into three phases: classroom activities, experience on the 360-acre college farm laboratory with crops, swine or beef, and supervised employment experience during each fall and spring.

Ag Production Technology uses today's technologies including GPS/GIS, VRT, Real time Ultra-sound, electronic identification, artificial insemination, embryo transfer and various computer software programs.
