Welcome to the North Putnam Agriculture Department

 
Agriculture is not just for farmers anymore!
It is for anyone interested in the production, processing, marketing,
and scientific research of food and fiber. Agriculture can
assist you in selecting a career. Approximately 30 percent of
all jobs today are agriculture related, and individuals with
an agriscience and business background will continue to be
in high demand for years to come.
Students need only one semester a year of any Vocational
Agriscience or Agribusiness course to join the FFA. FFA
allows students to apply classroom instruction in a practical
setting and develops strong leadership skills and personal
skills; FFA membership is highly recommended.



The Agricultural Education Mission
Agricultural Education prepares students for successful careers and a lifetime of informed choices in the global agriculture, food, fiber and natural resources systems.

The Three-Circle Model
Through agricultural education, students are provided opportunities for leadership development, personal growth and career success. Agricultural education instruction is delivered through three major components:
1) classroom/laboratory instruction (contextual learning)
2) S
upervised agricultural experience programs (work-based learning)
3) Student leadership organizations (National FFA Organization, National Young Farmer Educational Association, and National Postsecondary Agricultural Student Organization).
