JAG students were busy on Tuesday exploring careers in diesel mechanics and ag service technology! From attending John Deere Diesel Technology Day at SCC Milford—where they met professors, current students, and tried hands-on activities—to touring Landmark Implement-Beatrice with Location Manager Bob and checking out equipment, tools, and parts inventory, students got a real-world look at what a future in the agricultural service industry can offer. A day full of great experiences!
