After many many requests for additional classes, flexible schedules, more personalized property focus - coupled with the State's heavy budget cuts at the college, we have decided to privatize our entire teaching program and outreach permanently.   Our most familiar class, which Keith has taught for over 10 years now at Sierra College was:   AG 118 RANCH PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & MANAGEMENT                       AG118 focuses on ranch & rural property development, that includes: site evaluation, soil evaluation, irrigation system selection, design and management, pond construction and management, pasture evaluation, establishment and/or rehabilitation, rural fire safety and much more. Most of our students are new and seasoned rural property owners, realtors, farmers, ranchers and natural resource specialists from Nevada, Placer, Sierra, Yuba & El Dorado Counties.   . . . Will now be taught by Keith and Paul in a more intimate venue without the classes minimum student enrollment restrictions or strict time constraints put on by the college, in the past.   Our new classes will be tuned to the class that is enrolled at a given point. Next Upcoming Class: We are excited to announce that one of our most popular 1 day classes . . . Our "Ponds, Ponds, Ponds" Class has just been scheduled for March 24, 2012 -- This hands on class will be taught onsite at the wonderful Golden Pond Aquatic Nursery in Loomis -- please check back for additional details or email Paul@GreenAcres101.com for more information or call 530-388-8641 to pre-register for your spot now.
