Agriculture Program and Training
From the inception of Ricks, Agriculture has remained a part of the school’s core commitment. Ricks Institute resides on 1150 acres of land and the vase land space is intended for Agriculture expansion.
Our students are taught agriculture initiatives as a means to foster self-sustainability. Agriculture is part of the school’s curriculum.
Our staff on campus are encouraged to engage in gardening and other agricultural needs on the Ricks property.
