AgCentric, the Minnesota State Northern Agricultural Center of Excellence develops and supports excellence in Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) education and career pathways by partnering with K-12 schools, government agencies, higher education, and industry. We promote AFNR careers, connect classroom learning with cutting-edge technology, and serve as a strong advocate for the future of agriculture.

As the bridge between education and industry, we support the Minnesota State Farm Business Management program through professional development, outreach, and recruitment. We also provide professional development for NRCS and SWCD employees across Minnesota through On-Farm Communications training and DISC Assessment training—strengthening communication and collaboration between conservation professionals and the agricultural community.

ALMCO has been in business for over 75 years manufacturing quality industrial parts washers, industrial deburring, polishing, and tumbling equipment.
