The program is very fortunate to have many industries and community supporters who provide program resources and guidance. The Agriculture Partners are a group of dedicated Industry Leaders who were instrumental in developing the concept and providing initial funding to get the program started through The Roland Starn Endowment for Agriculture and the Roland Starn Endowed Chair. They continue to support the program both financially and through individual involvement. A Subcommittee of the Ag Partners was formed in 2004 to provide curriculum and program guidance through advisory meetings and involvement as well as assist with fundraising.
