  • Does SAVE provide housing?

    No. SAVE does not offer student housing at the moment. However, there are some apartment complexes located a short distance from Kansas State University. A helpful website assisting in housing is: https://mcculloughcorporate.prospectportal.com

  • Is transportation available?

    Due to the nature of this unique training program, our farm is located about fifteen miles from where classes are taught. It is the student's responsibility to get themselves to class. If you lack transport, SAVE might be able to offer assistance.

  • I thought classes were at the farm?

    Hands-on training is at the farm. All other classes are taught in a traditional classroom environment unless the instructor plans for class at the training-farm.

  • Do you have team members looking for work in AG?

    We nearly always have volunteers and students looking for work in the field. Send us an email to define what you're looking for; we'll do our best to link you up with your ideal employee.

  • Do we help students find inexpensive land?

    No, we are setup to provide AG training as well as linking students, interns, and volunteers with successful producers. The relationships may or may not lead to land acquisition.
