Riverland Community College has a rich history helping working farmers improve business operations in the best way to maintain their competitive edge. Our highly qualified faculty provides practical training and education, working directly with farmers and their business operations, often on the farm. Riverland is ready to advance this practical and very effective approach to problem solving within the broader agriculture environment, contributing to meeting personal business needs and promoting regional economic development growth. In an Ag Symposium scheduled for Nov. 21 at the Historic Hormel House, Riverland and The Hormel Foundation will host Ag professionals to discuss the expansion of three specific areas in agriculture technology application that will increase the capacity and potential for contributing to practical solutions for agricultural challenges within our region and across the nation.
