NTC Dairy Sciences School opens in Maine

June 15, 2011

From WSAU.com: “NTC Dairy sciences school opens in Maine today”— North Central Technical College will be officially opening their Agriculture Center of Excellence school this morning.

The school is a partnership between NTC and the Dairyland State Academy. The facility is located just northwest of Wausau near the Maine Town Hall and Maine Elementary. The move is a culmination of a 3 year long process of permits, funding from Marathon County, and approval for the site construction.

Students at the Academy will have a chance to learn the trade of dairy farming on a live and operational farm. They’ll also be using state of the art equipment under an agreement with CASE. The program will offer a two year associates degree in Dairy Science, and allow for progression into a four year degree with NTC.
