Jeff Hill Tests His Dedication to Agriculture at Reedley

Jeff Hill pursued his Associates Degrees in Plant Science and Agriculture Business as an initial “testing of the waters”, a way to experiment with his agricultural turn of mind and his true dedication to agriculture as a career and way of life.  Hill’s pursuit of an Associates in Plant Science enabled him to test his feelings about this career path before he delved into a pursuit of the Bachelors of Science in the subject.

The Associates Degree is the equivalent of the first and second year education of those pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree; although it is important to check into the transfer of credits process to ensure that courses for the Associates will translate into ongoing work toward the Bachelor’s at the chosen university.

Jeff Hill attended Reedley College in Reedley, California a public community college which offers Associates Degrees in 80 disciplines.  Reedley offers the option to transfer to a 4-year university if they make the decision to pursue their chosen discipline.  Hill attained his AG Business and Plant Science AA’s, and was moved to concentrate his studies for another two years to specialize in Agronomy at Fresno State.
Jeff Hill chose Reedley College carefully when searching for a school that would offer the types of agricultural background education which would advance his goals in agronomy.  Hill’s choice of Reedley College was both an experimental venture to measure his dedication to agricultural sciences and a carefully planned preliminary study to find his true areas of interest in the field and his strongest points of achievement.

Alpha Gamma Rho Enhances Career of Jeff Hill

Alpha Gamma Rho, the social and professional fraternity of Jeff Hill is dedicated to the study of agriculture in all its forms.  AGR evolved when its chapter at Ohio State University and the Delta Rho Sigma fraternity at the University of Illinois met at the International Livestock Competition at Chicago, Illinois early in the 20th century.  The charter of these two melded fraternities was signed in 1908, and the new Alpha Gamma Rho social and professional fraternity dedicated to those passionate about agriculture grew to today’s 71 chapters across the United States.

Because Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity is a professional as well as social collaboration, Jeff Hill’s membership in the group promised to add not only to his friendships and contacts at his school but it also aligned him with the academics and academic sources which promoted his love of agricultural pursuits.  Hill was able live in a house with other fraternity members during his college years and commune with other young men pursuing degrees in agriculturally related industries with food or fiber concerns.    Alpha Gamma Rho enabled Hill to become involved with job networking throughout the agriculture industry, and to advance his studies the AGR house provided libraries and state of the art computers.

The study of agriculture is a much more dynamic field today, with careers in food science, biotechnology, agri-marketing, environmental science and many other exciting new fields of study such as Jeff Hill’s work in irrigation and efficient plant and land development.  AGR also emphasizes the need for leadership skills through encouraging fraternity and university involvement.
