Introduction
The Agronomy curriculum is designed to provide instruction in crop production, soils, marketing, field crop scouting, and business management. Cutting edge agricultural technology is infused into this curriculum wherever possible. Students will have the opportunity to apply concepts learned through hands-on activities at the NDSCS Kosel Family Agriculture Land Lab and other classroom and laboratory activities. The Land Lab is a 90-acre demonstration farm operated by the Agriculture Department, students, and industry partners. Students enrolled in this option will complete a 400-hour paid internship at a career-related training facility during the summer between their first and second year of instruction. Students graduating in Agronomy are prepared to find employment in seed sales, fertilizer sales, plant protection, crop consulting or other agronomic careers. The regional employment outlook continues to be very positive for graduates. Our philosophy statement is: “The Agriculture Department provides education for the present and future by incorporating leadership and career development, best management practices in crop and livestock production, technology, natural resources, problem-solving, internships, and communication through a diverse program.”
