The number of beef science students at Northeast Iowa Community College has seen a dramatic increase in last 5 years with close to 30 students enrolled in the fall beef science class. In response to this demand NICC will be building a new Beef Education Facility. The facility is being built to the same high standards of the Dairy Facility keeping to the theme of a "Center of Excellence for Value Added Agriculture." With this new facility NICC will continue to be a leader in developing our next generation of agriculture leaders.NICC AgriScienceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14878837399334733077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544763943592439578.post-26419084122365004542015-08-12T06:34:00.001-07:002015-08-12T06:36:18.159-07:00<h2 style="text-align: center;">
NICC Agriscience Program is adding Drones to their Curriculum</h2>
<br />
In order to keep up to date with latest technologies in agriculture we will be adding five Drones to our curriculum. Four of the drones will be small hobby drones that will be used to train students how to operate and fly a drone. The fifth drone will include GPS and a High Tech Camera and will be used for aerial observations and videos. NICC has applied for a section 333 exemption to allow them to fly the drone outside.<br />
<br />
The drones will be available in mid September for practicing indoors. When the Section 333 exemption is approved we will be using the drone in an outdoor environment.<br />

day at Northeast Iowa Community College. This past year the college has
made a decision to go to no-till and cover crops to help maintain long
term soil health and productivity.<br />
<br />
Several demonstrations were part of the day including a Hagie cover crop seeder and the SWCD rain table.<br />

Agriculture: Job growth to boom over next five years</h1>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
<br /></div>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Nearly 58,000 jobs will
open annually across the United States in occupations involving food,
agriculture, renewable natural resources and environment over the next
five years, according to an employment outlook led by Purdue University.</div>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
The report, released Monday (May 11), was produced by Purdue University's <a href="https://ag.purdue.edu/Pages/default.aspx">College of Agriculture</a> with grant support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's <a href="http://nifa.usda.gov/">National Institute of Food and Agriculture</a>.</div>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
The jobs reflect a need for a highly skilled and
trained workforce to support the food, agriculture and national
resources industries amid projections of a world population that is
expected to grow from 7 billion people today to 9 billion by 2050, noted
<a href="http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentid=bio_ramaswamy.xml">Sonny Ramaswamy</a>, NIFA director.</div>
<div class="p1">
That will create many opportunities for college graduates
in those fields, said Allan D. Goecker (pronounced GER’-ker), assistant
dean emeritus of Purdue's College of Agriculture and lead author of the
report "<a href="https://www.purdue.edu/usda/employment/"><span class="s1">Employment
Opportunities for College Graduates in Food, Agriculture, Renewable
Natural Resources, and the Environment, United States, 2015–2020</span></a>."</div>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
"These graduates are essential to address U.S.
and global priorities of food security, sustainable energy and
environmental quality," Goecker said.</div>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
The report projects that 46 percent of the
estimated 57,900 new job opportunities each year will be in management
and business. Twenty-seven percent will be in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics, the so-called STEM areas. Jobs in food and
biomaterials production will comprise 15 percent, and 12 percent of the
openings will be in education, communication and governmental services.</div>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
Details of the report are available on a website created by Purdue at <a href="https://www.purdue.edu/usda/employment">https://www.purdue.edu/usda/employment</a>. Some highlights:</div>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
* While most employers prefer to hire graduates
of food, agriculture, renewable natural resources and environment
programs, graduates from these programs only fill about 60 percent of
the expected annual openings. Even as enrollments in these programs
increase and the job market becomes somewhat more competitive, good
employment opportunities for the next five years are expected.</div>
<div class="FORMAT-BODY">
* Growth in job opportunities will be uneven.
Employers in some areas will struggle to find enough graduates to fill

Dan Lane joined the NICC Agriculture Team on August 1st as a new full time faculty member. Due to the dramatic growth that the NICC agriculture programs have seen over the past few years a need for an additional instructor was obvious. Through an extensive interview process of several outstanding candidates the committee decided that Dan Lane was an excellent fit for Northeast Iowa Community College and can help take us to the next level of excellence for out programs. Dan brings a wealth of experience with him including: 2009 - 2014 Iowa State University 4-H and Youth Development Specialist, 2007-2009. Extension Director-Clayton County, 1998-2007 Hawkeye Community College-Department Chair, Agriculture,
Natural Resources, and Horticulture-Animal Science Instructor, 1994-1998- Agriculture Education Instructor-Central Elkader Community Schools<br />

To be awarded accreditation, the AVMA requires the College to complete a very comprehensive task list. One of the things that impressed the AVMA is that the NICC program is a veterinary technician program that focuses on large animals. Ours is currently the only one of its kind that focuses on large animals in Iowa, and we’re one of only three in the U.S.,” Harvey explained.<br /><br />Harvey highlighted other unique features of the program, particularly an internship requirement for students at the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The internship experience for Large Animal Veterinary Technician students was developed in collaboration with the university, and the College of Veterinary Medicine is a cornerstone of one of the world's largest concentrations of animal heath professionals. NICC students will derive great benefit from hands-on learning experiences at Iowa State, Harvey added.<br /><br />The program opened in fall 2011, and the degree prepares students for technician work in all aspects of veterinary medicine for large animals. The skills students acquire prepare them for work in veterinary clinics and many sectors of the veterinary industry, such as sales or corporate and private animal nursing. Large Animal Veterinary Technician program graduates may also transfer their credits to continue their education at a four-year college or university to pursue a veterinary science or veterinarian degree.<br /><br />At commencement on May 15, NICC faculty and staff celebrated the program’s first graduating class. The 2014 Large Animal Veterinary Technician program graduates are:<br /><br /><br /><br />Emily Arens, Waucoma<br /><br />Stephanie Bessler, Protivin<br /><br />Emily Deetz, Charles City<br /><br />Shannon Deetz, Charles City<br /><br />Erica Eastman, Riceville<br /><br />Hilliary Moravend, Guttenberg<br /><br />Julie Jones, Hopkinton<br /><br />Jessie Moser, Colesburg<br /><br />Nicole Wurzer, Waucoma<br /><br />NICC AgriScienceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14878837399334733077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544763943592439578.post-69761301954456401192014-05-08T07:58:00.001-07:002014-05-08T07:59:58.224-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
