Farm Progress Show opens new doors for local college

摘要

THE Farm Progress Show and rise of Progress City opens new doors for Richland Community College, which is adjacent to the show. "It presents an opportunity for many new things we'd never considered before," says Gayle Saunders, president of Richland.Those possibilities include interaction with companies participating in the show, involvement in test plots, new programs in biotechnology and agricultural biotechnology, and real world experiences for students seeking a science degree in agriculture and an associate's degree in agriculture (transfer degree). The college opened at its new facility in 1988.
