MTI partners with Davison County to work 78 acres of farmland. MTI ag
students and instructors manage all aspects of crop production including
government programs, marketing, agronomy, etc. The land lab is used in
conjunction with many of the production and business ag classes. Students
gain experience in all areas of the operation: budgeting, planning, planting,
spraying, fertilizing, harvesting and marketing.
