“Approximately 80 to 85 percent
of the college students enrolling in
agriculture do not come from farm
backgrounds," Ogline explains.
“Our new Biological Station, at
which hands-on practical ex
perience will be stressed, is
designed to help fill this void.”
The farming facilities at the
Station will include the five breeds
of daii7 cattle, swine, sheep and
beef. Students will live there for 10
weeks and help with the milking,
other chores, keep records and
plant or harvest crops depending
on the season. They will get ex
perience in para-veterinary duties,
including such things as dehoming
andcastrating.
“One of the first phases of far
ming operations to be stressed will
be safety,” Ogline said.
“Most of these students haVe
never been directly involved in
farming and they must initially be
impressed with proper safety
around machinery, equipment and
livestock.”
Ogline explains that the course
of instruction will feature a strong
tie-in of the inter-relationship
between proper farming practices
and the environment.
“Whatever is done in farming -
whether it’s spreading manure or
applying a pesticide - has its effect
not only on the ag operation but
also on the environment,” Ogline
explains.
“We want to stress this inter
relationship and the importance of
dove-tailing farming practices
with the environment.”

Holland, which was started in 1972,
was instrumental in his selection
for this unique college-level
program. The environmental ag
program at New Holland is also
unique in the state.
Students for the hands-on
program will be drawn from 11
different instructional disciplines
at Michigan State, such as ag
mechanics, economics, education,
production, fish and wildlife,
horticulture, etc.
The proximity of the forests and
marshlands to the farmlands will
be instrumental in putting together
the program.
