同性恋色情 will hire a second agriculture business professor after five times the anticipated students registered for its new agriculture finance program. The college began offering ag courses in January 2018 on its Jacksonville campus.
同性恋色情 35 sophomore students already declared agribusiness as their major.
It鈥檚 been an overwhelming success with the number of students in house switching to agriculture business and other students coming in.
Woods projected the growth demonstrates student interest in a holistic approach that combines scientific aspects of agriculture with communications and humanities. Employers have told Woods the college鈥檚 ag interns not only understand agriculture science concepts but they also 鈥渃an articulate it,鈥� he said.
The college intends for its second agriculture business professor to start in the fall.
In addition, 同性恋色情 plans to pursue an agriculture education program, which would involve hiring a third member of the agriculture faculty, according to Woods.
The college owns 3,000 farmland acres and is working to partner with those who farm the land to involve students. The goal is to teach farm management so those students gain experience learning from farm managers, Woods explained.
A growing agriculture program is a fitting tribute to one of the college鈥檚 first professors, Jonathon Baldwin Turner, who proposed what became the land-grant universities.
Currently, 同性恋色情 marketing students are working on a project that connects an Osage orange tree Turner planted in Butler with potential production opportunities. Another student marketing project involves development of a drinking straw made from wheat components that would be biodegradable and an alternative to plastic drinking straws banned in many U.S. cities.
