Dairying doesn’t have to be 24/7/365.
It’s been said that dairy farming isn’t a job, it’s a way of life. We say dairy farming is a business, and you can have a life outside of it. That’s 21st century dairy farming. Whether you’re new to dairy or an old hand at it — see how we can make it happen for you.
The Agriculture Center of Excellence at Northcentral Technical College will give you opportunities no one else can offer:
- The freedom to make mistakes and learn from them on our future for-profit 200 herd farm
- The ability to use your hands and your head in applied learning and traditional classrooms
- A working understanding of today’s dairy technologies
- The business, marketing and accounting know-how you need to run your agribusiness
- Exposure to new concepts such as two-family dairying, that allows you to share responsibilities and alternate time away from the farm
- Innovative instruction in competitive dairying styles, including parlor/free-stall Western-style dairy housing and rotational grazing
- A two-year Associates Degree in Dairy Science that prepares you to take over the family farm, start one of your own or grow the business of the farm you have
- A transition to a four-year degree
- Year-round educational opportunities that are built around your life on the farm
