Program Offerings to Suit a Range of Needs 

The breadth and scope of the agricultural world can be overwhelming, and in an industry where trust and confidence are paramount for your stakeholders and customers, you need to be able to bring new hires up to speed quickly and effectively.

On-boarding someone to agriculture in a program approach doesn't have to overwhelm schedules or require days of travel.  That's what Grounded in Ag offers. We've engaged 50+ farmers, scientists, veterinarians, and more to weave together the fundamentals of agriculture as a business and way of life. We've traveled the US to bring the experts directly to you so you can learn directly from the folks in ag who do this work day in and day out. All of this comes together as more than 30 hours of programming, with packages to fit a range of ag-related learning.

The Depth You Need Determines the Package You Buy

In agriculture people may focus on one crop or type of livestock, they may work across a portfolio of crops or livestock or can work across the entire industry. We have assembled course packages that work for almost everyone! You can browse the individual commodity programs and the packages that offer several of each or all of them below learning more about what's in each one.

All Packages Include Foundational Courses & Build from There

The depth of an individual commodity is a great place to start your purchase selection, but there is a common learning journey needed across commodities. We group those topics in Foundational Courses and from there we begin to focus in. 

Our courses meet people where they are and develop the depth of knowledge, vocabulary, and understanding of agriculture that can be elusive without focused, structured efforts. Once students have a solid foundation, they will focus in on either crops or livestock.
