General info
The Farm is an essential educational resource that complements and reinforces in-class academic learning. It does this by serving as the main laboratory for most of the courses taught in the ANR Department. It also provides students with practical work and management experience through the Labor Program. Students handle the daily farming operations throughout the year. College Farm staff and ANR faculty provide supervision and support.

The farm provides employment for most, though not all, ANR majors any given year (45 students). Students employed on the College Farm should take part in all enterprises during the beginning of their first year.
