Mayville State University is now in the fourth year of its agribusiness program. President Brian Van Horn says this program provides coursework, field experience and skills needed for a career in agriculture. “We’re a small rural community surrounded by corn fields, bean fields and sugarbeet fields so it fits perfectly with what these students are interested in learning about,” said Van Horn. “We were just talking about the new dairy that’s proposed to come to Traill County as well. There are a lot of different opportunities for students to learn right there in our county with an immersion educational experience within that community that’s really second to none.” Michael Kjelland leads the agribusiness program. “We take students of all different backgrounds, they could be transfer students or maybe they never finished with the university where they were at before. We really cater to them.”
