positions in areas such as agricultural sales, including veterinary supplies, feeds;
appraising for insurance companies and banks; management, credit, accounting and
other office work; and general farming.
The animal husbandry major prepares students for occupations in farming where
beef cattle, sheep, swine and horse enterprises are an important part of the industry.
Many graduates in this department are engaged in the livestock and farming
business or in other agribusiness occupations. The department maintains purebred
herds of Hereford, Shorthorn and Angus beef cattle; a purebred flock of Rambouillet,
Columbia, and Hampshire sheep; four breeds of swine-Berkshire, Hampshire,
Yorkshire, and Duroc; and a complement of registered quarter horses.
The dairy science ma.ior with dairy husbandry option trains students for commercial
dairy farming enterprises, dairy herd management, milk testing, fieldwork
for breeding associations, dairy sanitation, and for other agribusiness occupations.
The department maintains three breeds of purebred dairy cattle-Holsteins, Guernseys,
and Jerseys. A Grade A dairy barn, dry feed lots, bull barn, fitting and
slwwing barn, and a cow and calf barn provide excellent facilities for practical
training in dairy husbandry.
The dairy science major with dairy industry option prepares students for jobs in
dairy plants in processing milk, ice cream, cheese, butter, and other dairy products.
The college maintains its own processing plant for bottling milk and teaching
the required courses in butter making, ice cream, cheese, and dairy plant management.
Dairy products are processed for the college cafeteria and retail sales store
by students as a part of the practical training program.
The poultry busbandry major prepares students for occupations in commercial
egg production, fryer operations, breeder flock management, hatchery, processing,
and sales positions with feed companies. Many graduates operate their own turkey
and poultry farms. The poultry plant includes a central hatchery with cold storage
facilities for egg handling, grading and candling; commercial egg production and
pedigree pens; brooding facilities for conventional type houses along with sunshine
brooders; intermediate growing batteries and wire floor cage houses. Over 3,000
birds are maintained in the college flock.
SUPERVISED PROJECTS
The agriculture program is unique in that it provides opportunity for students
to gain both theoretical training and practical experience in farming while pursuing
their college programs. The supervised project experience is designed to supplement
the lecture and laboratory assignments, giving students greater opportunity to develop
the practical side of farming. The college owns all of the necessary equipment
for student projects. A rental fee is charged for use of equipment. Proficiency in
operating equipment must be demonstrated before projects may be undertaken.
