Agribusiness Concepts PAC
Introduction
 The
business of agriculture has changed dramatically in recent years.
Even small family-owned farms must conform to the latest
technologies and business practices in today's competitive market.
The Agribusiness Concepts PAC will help students understand
the four types of businesses and learn what it takes to be a
successful entrepreneur.
Using Farm
Works, students will be exposed to financial records as they
evaluate assets and liabilities from a demonstration farm. They will
also use the software to set up their own agribusiness.
They also work with GPS and GIS using IPAQ/NAVMAN
technology to set land boundaries and consider the effects of
satellite technology on agribusiness.
