Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Community College is offering new non-credit agriculture classes in August and September. <\/p>\n

Through these classes, students can earn certificates in two topic areas—landscaping and AgBusiness and marketing. <\/p>\n

“These courses are an excellent and inexpensive way for people to expand their agricultural knowledge and skills in a short amount of time,” said Chris Jacobsen, a Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> CC<\/abbr> agriculture professor who developed the classes. <\/p>\n

The first class starts Aug. 12, and the costs vary from $39 to $100 for sets of classes that lead to either a certificate of participation or a certificate of professional development. <\/p>\n
