The mission of the
Agriculture Program is to serve as a partner with the
diverse agriculture industry to provide students with the
attitudes, abilities, and problem-solving capabilities to
meet career responsibilities and lead agriculture into the
future.
As
the number one employer in central Washington, the
agriculture industry offers exciting and challenging career
opportunities.
YVCC's Agriculture
Department degree programs provide students with the
necessary skills and abilities that employers desire.
Agricultural production, processing, and marketing
activities in our agriculturally diverse geographic area
are supported by many enterprises which conduct activities
in research, marketing, technical
advising,
input supply, regulatory compliance,
storage, packing, processing, production, and animal health
and care. Firms working in one or more of these activity
areas require employees who can implement solutions to
practical problems using existing and new technology and
with concern for safety and environmental protection.
