Central Prairie Co-op Manager Joe Schauf and Central Prairie Co-op Board Chairman Orville Miller present Hutchinson Community College Endowment Association Director Cindy Keast, Agriculture Instructor Steve Sears, and Department Chair Janet Hamilton with checks from Central Prairie Co-op and Land O’Lakes for $2,654.00 each.  The funds will help with the HCC Ag Diesel Mechanics Program.

The Hutchinson Community College Ag Diesel Mechanics program prepares students with the technical knowledge and skills for employment as service technicians.  Students learn the fundamentals of diesel engine operation and agricultural equipment maintenance, and are able to repair those machines in a hands-on environment.
