These classes are intensive, 4 or 5 day classes with meetings in-person and include visits to farms and agribusinesses or laboratories. AGR 141, Introduction to Animal Science, will meet June 16, 17, 18, 22, 23 with follow-up online assignments. AGR 142, Introduction to Plant Science and Technology, will meet July 7, 8, 9, 10 with follow up assignments. AGR 295, Topics in Ag. Mechanics is offered in two different locations, and meets June 18, 19, 22, 23 in Harrisonburg or June 22,23,24,25,26 in Pulaski County. This class covers basic agriculture mechanics to include woodworking, electricity, plumbing, concrete work and welding with follow-up on-line assignments. All of our summer classes meet from 8:00-4:00. This is a good chance to either work on degree and certificate work or take a class just for personal interest.
