How to Learn what an AG class would teach without going to one?

Question

Okay so my school does not have any AG classes or FFA obviously. I think every school should it is a great thing for kids to learn. But the High school I am supposed to be going to doesn't have one.

what i was wondering is How I can learn what a AG class would teach me without going to one, since my high school doesn't offer one and the Community college doesn't have any AG related classes either.

Help!!! PLZ

Answer 1

Farm management as a business.  Agriculture history.  Agricultural technology advancements and computerized farm management programs.  Just to mention a few.

I would do an internet search on Agricultural Education and scope out the schedules of the schools that show their curriculum's.

Answer 2

Im sorry your school doesn't have an FFA program, you are totally right it is an awesome club to be in, the biggest and best in America.

It is going to be a bit difficult for you to do absolutely everything we do in FFA, but you can accomplish pretty much everything if you try hard enough.

From what I can remember, these are the things we have been taught so far:

Forestry

Nutrition

Plant Health and Development

Welding

Aquaculture

Public Speaking

Ag. Mechanics

Livestock Management

I am sure there are more things to learn than that; I am only in my third year and have not fully completed the course yet.

My suggestion to you would be to break down each of the units taught in the class and either learn it yourself, or look for a class in your school or the local colleges that teach that specific subject or something close to it. You can also try google, of course.

Then, if all else fails, look up an online course or education guide. I have already found a fairly good one for you:
