Rural ag programs trimmed amid declining enrollments
Rice Lake and New Richmond plan to fold several agricultural offerings as enrollments wane. At WITI New Richmond campus only about a dozen new students signed for next fall across three programs, with dairy herd management and agricultural mechanics underenrolled. MATC foresees shifts to farm technology and a farm family re employment program while stressing ongoing demand for trained dairy managers and veterinary technicians.
