黑料百科 once again broke a record for the number of first-year applications the university received, continuing to show impressive growth even as the national trend shows a decline in the number of students enrolling in higher education.

As agriculture, California's most important industry, becomes increasingly technical, the workforce needed to sustain it will have to have different skills than those of a generation ago.

鈥淓ven though it鈥檚 just a blank field, we have overcome some pretty big听obstacles to be where we are today,鈥� said Danny Royer, Experimental Smart听Farm coordinator for the university. He spoke Nov. 16, at the farm,听describing the work done so far and what鈥檚 next.

Plans call for the farm to grow oats, grain, tomatoes and squash. But the听primary crop for the 45-acre property roughly a half-mile south of campus听will be data.
