  • Where do I want to go? Do I want to stay close to home, my friends and family, or venture to the great unknown?
  • What type of schedule do I want?
  • Do I want small or large classes? Fewer people around me, or lots?
  • How long do I want to go to school before I can begin working?

Many agriculture and food organizations offer sponsorships to top-notch conferences and events. 

Are you interested in:
