Located in the richest agricultural county in the nation, the
School of Agriculture boasts 1190 acres which serve as a
laboratory and production unit for students majoring in one
of the three departments. A committee was at work this year
developing a master's degree program for the school.
The plant science department, headed by Wayne E. Biehler,
is one of two schools in the United States which offer a
major course of study in viticulture-enology. Grapes are
grown in the school's 175 acres of vineyards and a portion
of them converted to raisins or crushed for wine. The school
also shares 65 acres of vineyard, 68 acres of cotton and 80
acres of barley with students participating in the learn-by-
doing project method which earns the students thousands
of dollars each year.
The animal science department, headed by Jesse T. Bell,
produced a dairy cattle judging team and livestock which
copped top honors in national competitions. Students participating in a project program also exhibited a truckload of
lambs at the Grand National Livestock Exposition in San
Francisco for the fifth consecutive year.
The agricultural mechanics department, headed by Clarence D. Jensen, maintains a wide variety of mechanical
equipment. Students majoring in this program have the
opportunity to utilize equipment in terms of seed bed preparation, planting and harvesting crops on the college farm.
Some of the college's largest scholarships go to this department to attract students in the hopes of filling the increasing demand far graduates in this area.
Mike Hardy, lab assistant in the viticulture-enology department,
is shown working on an experiment in the wine library. Wines,
both commercial and FSC originated are kept for testing and
analysis.
Above is shown a portion of the 175 acres of vineyards maintained by the college for use as a laboratory for viticulture-enology majors. The department experiments with various varieties of grapes in
search of new wines.
