Did you know? 🧐

At UA Cossatot Agriculture, learning doesn’t stop in the classroom — our students get opportunities to travel, explore, and experience agriculture across the United States. 🇺🇸🌾

This summer, our students will be heading to Emigrant, Montana to attend 406 Grazing Academy, where they’ll learn hands-on range and livestock management skills from industry professionals in one of the most beautiful agricultural regions in the country. 🐂🌱

And while we’re there… we’ll also be exploring Yellowstone National Park! 🦬🏔️

From Arkansas to Montana, UA Cossatot Ag students are gaining real-world experiences, building connections, and seeing agriculture on a national scale. We are proud to give our students opportunities that go far beyond the textbook.

Adventure. Education. Agriculture. That’s UA Cossatot Ag. 💚💛

🌷 Tulip Extravaganza Field Trip! 🌷

Students explored stunning displays of thousands of blooming tulips while learning about landscape design, plant selection, seasonal color planning, and public garden management. It was a great opportunity to see classroom concepts come to life in a real-world setting!

Experiences like this help our students connect hands-on learning with the beauty and science of horticulture 🌱
