Nineteen leaders from Montana’s agriculture and natural resource industries completed a 10-day international study seminar in Morocco in March, where they traveled to several regions to explore agriculture, natural resources, public policy and culture.
REAL Montana is a comprehensive two-year program offering in-depth education and training in the agriculture and natural resource industries. REAL stands for Resource Education and Agriculture Leadership. The program is funded through a partnership with Montana State University Extension and private industry.
The group’s journey began in northern Morocco and included visits to a large dairy and a diversified farm to learn about olive and small-grain production and tour a seed-cleaning and distribution facility. To learn more about REAL Montana, visit www.montana.edu/realmontana/.
