Tricia Sauer is joining the Central Lakes College staff as its new Specialty Crops Farm Business Management instructor.
Sauer has a Master of Professional Studies in Horticulture and an MBA in Business Management. Her experiences at Century College, where she has been a horticulture instructor, make her well poised to serve in this role, according to a CLC news release.
“Tricia has a wealth of experience that will benefit our specialty crops producers as they work to create or continue a profitable business venture,” said Cory Detloff, Director of Ag & Energy/Farm Business Management at CLC, in the release.
Sauer will be based out of the Central Lakes College Staples campus, but will serve the state of Minnesota for specialty crops instruction.
“I’m looking forward to working directly with farmers to help improve growing methods and increase profitability,” Sauer said in the release.
