• Crop production and marketing is now a sophisticated industry that demands strong skills and knowledge of agronomy, grain production, precision farming, and agribusiness management. As a member of the crop team of the Student-Managed Farm Powered by New Holland students will be responsible for cropping, harvesting and marketing decisions.
  • Students will be in a conventional classroom learning theory, but the SMF is real-world, hands-on classroom where students will put theory into practice learning how to manage a profitable farm through cropping recommendations; planning crop and herbicide rotations; selecting and operating machinery; marketing cereal, oilseed and specialty crops for maximum profitability; and using current GPS and GIS technologies to apply precision farming techniques.
