Montgomery County has a strong and growing agricultural business base. MCED has partnered with Montgomery County 4-H to plan for the development of a premier conference center and ag-complex on their new site at the intersection of interstate 74 and US 231. The Montgomery County Higher Education Steering Committee is currently conducting a needs assessment for agri-business. Ivy Tech and Purdue Extension office have teamed up to provide distance AG- education training via Purdue a priority.

Our new ethanol production facility will be a catalyst for vendor support companies and research initiatives. We should be prepared to
anticipate and take advantage of those opportunities before they develop. Food Processing and other alternative farming technologies
need to be identified.

Our Workforce Development Committees, School to Career/ SkillsNet and Community Development will work with the County Higher Education Steering Committee to develop strategies and tactics that are in support of Agri-business.
