Farm and Dairy Farm and Dairy Platte Valley Academy has always had active agriculture program. The Farm and Dairy employ the most students on campus, and pay the highest wages. Our milking parlor can handle twenty-four cows at a time.
Students work in the parlor, scraping the feed lots, and taking care of the calves.
Our main crops are corn, alfalfa, and soy beans. We own mostly John Deere equipment. Our students are responsible for helping in all aspects of the crops, from planting to irrigating to harvesting. We farm about 1000 acres of land in and around the Shelton area. The latest addition to the farm is a cattle barn.
