Lakeland College Student-Managed
Farm (SMF) - Powered by New Holland,
started in 1990 with the Crop Technology
program but has expanded to six
teams related to the Animal Science
Technology majors.
The Dairy SMF unit is a hands-on
student-centered learning course, where
students work as a team to manage the
college’s dairy operation. Students are
put in a real-world situation, growing
their critical thinking skills while learning
by doing. Working with the other SMF
units (equine, crops, commercial beef,
purebred beef, extensive grazing and
bison), the teams must communicate,
plan and work together to make the
entire Lakeland College farm viable,
both functionally and operationally. The
SMF is truly one of Lakeland’s greatest
assets and is one of the main reasons
many students travel from across the
country and even from around the world
to attend.
