The win could be attributed to the comprehensive curriculum the college offers for both the business and technological side of the complex industry. Not only does Hartnell offer multiple technology and mechanical certifications in their ag-tech programs, but they also offer degrees in agricultural food safety and are developing more partnerships with CSU Monterey Bay’s agricultural science program.
