“The precision agriculture program gave me the opportunity to gain off the farm knowledge about how agriculture functions. The program provided an overview of many parts of farming that I would have struggled to gain from family alone. I found the most useful skill I gained was increased knowledge about how to ask the right questions of people in the agricultural industry. I appreciate Central Community College because it was affordable, close to home, and flexible enough to fit into my hectic farming schedule. Another key aspect I appreciated was having knowledgeable teachers who were genuinely interested in my life and in advancing my career.”
