Program Coordinator for the Center
for Entrepreneurship, said the three
week tou r i n J une would focus on farm
regions and the business aspects of
agriculture.
“The region is economically and
agriculturally just 1 ike Nebraska,” she
said. “They (the people in those re

about basic business.”
Students will have a full itinerary,
including tours of food processing
plants and food production facilities
and a three-day workshop focusing on
agriculture and the environment.
They will meet with other
agribusiness students, professors and
professionals and will live with host
families on communal farms.
