Educational opportunities include gaining good work habits, a positive attitude, supervisory skills, and decision-making skills. Students learn about sustainable agriculture techniques, tractor operation and repair, and pasture management.
Students also deliver animals, give shots, and administer medicines.
Working on this crew is excellent pre-vet experience. Opportunities exist to attend seminars off-campus and to help with experiments with N.C. Agricultural Extension and N.C. State University. At right, John Pilson, the current Farm Manager. Some more pictures of Farm Crew.
