If today’s students are going to be a part of the next generation of farmers, agronomist, ag engineers, equipment technicians, or ag business professions, they need to be introduced to these tools early.
Education
PATCH Program
The PATCH (Precision Ag Technology Curriculum for Highschoolers) Program is an initiative started by digital ag innovation lab with the goal of getting more precision ag technology into high school ag classrooms. As part of this program, accepted high school ag teachers are gifted with precision ag technology for their classroom in addition to accompanying curriculum and training on the material.
