Wisconsin technical schools help farmers follow technology
Agricultural managers and their employees learn to use new technologies.
Layla Merrifield is the president of the Wisconsin Technical College System system. She tells Brownfield that the sixteen state districts have furiously updated technological programs to meet the needs of farmers and the GA industry, “to ensure that we follow artificial intelligence and the power that technology can bring to things such as soil surveillance and predictive maintenance on machines. We are of course, active in drone piloting lessons. »»
Merrifield says that students aged 16 to 60 learn to use new technologies and commercial and technical skills that have been used for many years. “The technology that could be a little older, you will always find it in a technical college. We always want to train on these things and make sure that farmers who always use older things are also served. »»
Merrifield claims that new technology is expensive and that having it on campus would not be possible without the support of state taxpayers and local taxpayers, and student tuition fees.
