Lincoln Land Community College is offering an Agricultural Watershed Management Program for their upcoming semesters. The certificate programs are aimed at farm owners, operators, agricultural service providers, and traditional agriculture and environmental science students. David Bowman, workforce coordinator and developer of the Agricultural Watershed certificate program curriculum spoke with Regional Radio News and shared what brought this new program to LLCC.

Bowman gave some details on some of the courses that will be a part of the program.

Courses are primarily 50 percent lab time, and 50 percent lecture time. Courses are currently only offered at LLCC’s Springfield campus, however Bowman did say depending on enrollment numbers of the program, the program could come to the Taylorville campus as well.
