AGRICULTURE

RANCH MANAGEMENT AND AGRICULTURE LEADERSHIP:

The Ranch Management Agriculture Leadership (RMAL) program proposes to increase the collaboration and ongoing development of opportunities and synergies with community colleges and their students. This partnership will support the development of a Ranch Management and Agricultural Leadership Bachelors of Science Degree, development of a robust internship program, creation of a framework for community college partnerships, and development of credentialed seminars.

PRECISION AGRICULTURE:

The precision agriculture partnership will develop a joint precision agriculture program that encompasses research, workforce training and education, and extension and outreach. The use of precision agriculture techniques can increase crop yields, reduce inputs, improve soil health, and provide a vast economic return to our agricultural producers.

PHASE II KEY METRICS

The agriculture industry is a primary driver of Wyoming’s economy. The WIP initiative is helping establish new programs and facilities, advancing areas such as controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and precision agriculture. These industry innovations are ushering in the exploration of highyield food production and building out the state’s CEA business network and education partners, further developing opportunities for Wyoming to grow its workforce and capacity for sustainability into the future.

PHASE III KEY METRICS

Agriculture remains at the heart of Wyoming’s economy. WIP-backed efforts in precision agriculture are equipping producers and students with cutting-edge tools like autonomous machinery and data-driven systems, while partnerships with schools and industry are strengthening outreach and experiential learning across the state. Controlled Environment Agriculture is expanding through new facilities, coursework, and collaborations that open doors to sustainable, high-yield food production, while the Ranch Management and Agricultural Leadership program is preparing future leaders through strong transfer pathways, internships, and community engagement. These initiatives are cultivating a workforce ready to carry Wyoming’s agricultural legacy into the future.
