Agriculture Technology

Agriculture is highly mechanized, and production agriculture cannot exist without technology and machinery.  Agricultural Technology students develop skills and knowledge using tools and equipment on the modern COS farm.  Farm buildings are constructed and repaired using both wood and metal fabrication techniques.  Students also have the opportunity to study irrigation principals, land surveying and laser leveling.  Farming industries are in need of agricultural technology students.  Jobs are available on farms, sales and service of farm equipment, equipment manufacturing, ag mechanics, and welding.  All major universities offering agriculture programs offer advanced courses in all fields of Agricultural Technology.
