Agricultural Business Fundamentals I
Students develop the necessary knowledge, skills, habits, and attitudes for employment in agribusinesses. The course emphasizes personal financial management practices, consumer choices, financial records, business structures and procedures, and the economics of marketing agricultural products and services. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
