Lakeland college's roots in agricultural education go back more than 100 years. Today the college's programming is more than hands-on, it's student-managed.  That is what makes a Lakeland College ag education different. Students learn the theory behind the decisions, then apply it to actual projects. Whether they are involved in the Student-Managed Farm (SMF) - Powered by New Holland, running a business through the Student Managed Enterprise, hosting a working cow horse competition, or creating a nutrition and exercise plan for plump pets, students are actively involved in their learning. Students work together to make production and management decisions and initiate new research projects.
