So, they are teaching farm survival? Honestly, this looks like an interesting class. Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon is offering a program to help small and diverse agricultural ventures. This seems to be less a survival program and more of a success prorgam.This program not only teaches growing skills but also marketing, sales, management, policy, philosophy and a whole host of other things a farmer needs to know to survive in the the newly diversifying field of farming. It doesn't seem they miss a beat... They also offer instruction on how to handle the possibility that a farm goes under. This definitely seems like a balanced program.
Other community colleges should look at this program as a template to build their own programs. In my opinion, a heck of a lot of people would be interested in this sort of thing. I certainly would be!
