Careers and Education
Investing in the future of MFA and agriculture.
MFA offers much more than quality products. Our true value lies in the talented team of employees who carry out MFA’s mission to provide forward-thinking knowledge, resources and services to our members and customers. As agriculture evolves, so, too, must the education and training that supports the industry. Incorporating emerging technologies into MFA employee training and agriculture education programs ensures that the workforce — both present and future — is equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the changing landscape of the industry.
Ag Certificate Programs
MFA supports higher education opportunities that provide hands-on training for students while they earn an agricultural-based certificate. We currently offer MFA-sponsored programs at North Central Community College in Trenton, Mo., and State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Mo.

Career in a year
New certificate program at North Central Missouri College prepares students for high-demand jobs in agriculture
As agricultural technology advances, so does the need for highly trained people to operate it. Despite this demand, the industry struggles to fill jobs with qualified individuals who have the knowledge and skills to successfully perform this increasingly complex work. A new one-year certificate program at North Central Missouri College (NCMC) in Trenton is launching next fall to help change that trend. Endorsed by MFA Incorporated, the Agriculture Operations Technology Certificate provides an accelerated pathway toward a successful career in custom application.
