Agriculture is hot again at Montana State University

The college department at Montana State University with the most scholarships and steadily rising enrollment? Could it be agriculture?


Yep.


Agriculture is the rising star at Montana State University in Bozeman, where President Waded Cruzado recently elevated the dean’s chair to a vice president position. The move means the head of agriculture will be at the table for all major decisions at the university.


“Any way we can elevate the importance of our No. 1 industry — agriculture — at our institutions of higher learning is a win,” said Dave Kelsey, of Lakeview Land and Livestock in Molt. “The vice president of agriculture will sit in on all decisions made by the executive council, even though some of those won’t affect agriculture. Agriculture will have some input on them.”
