Our Agribusiness class is going to be working on a project simulation through Grain Bridge where they will assume the position of producers. The students are given 1280 acres to create a diversified operation of crops and livestock. They will estimate input costs, expenses and projected yields and then keep track of their investments over the course of the semester and hopefully beyond!

Below are a couple of useful resources when looking at average crop yield numbers and livestock carrying capacity formulas:
