MCC ag department head retires, but program tradition to continue By Don Peaaley McHenry County College's programs in agriculture and horticulture that prepare students for jobs will continue. That's the "bottom line" of a wide-ranging discussion with Don Barrett who is retiring from his position as head of the MCC ag program. Barrett, who taught for 17 years at Huntley and Harvard high schools where he developed success fu l voca t iona l agricultural programs, came to McHenry County College in July, 1969, soon after the college was founded. "The board of trustees and administraton are sold on the value of agriculture,' he said recently after planting the last test plot of corn before the arrival of an afternoon thun­ derstorm. "From the staffing, facilities and financial viewpoint, we've had good programs in agriculture. We produce well- trained students. I could place 30 more in horticulture-related positions. Our college has a good reputation nationally for the training our students receive." Joe Victor,, a four-year veteran of MCC's ag depart­ ment, has been named to head the department. Victor was raised on a New York state dairy farm. He has bachelor's and master's degrees from Western Kentucky Universitv. He's absorbed Barrett's philosophy of working closely with students in practical ex- periences. i Test plots and "learning by doing" are integral factors that help train students.'Victor is convinced the program can grow, although a shortage of students is prompting new marketing approaches, started earlier this year. That approach is to realise recruiting must extend well beyond the agricultural com­ munities and ag classes, to reach out to young people with an interest and skill in chemistry, biology and other sciences. "We want to talk to high school instructors in science-related fields and alert them to the tremendous job opportunities available in many phases of work related to agriculture," said Victor. "We want our enthusiasm extended' to these students." In recent weeks Barrett hast been honored in several ways, by the MCC spring schedule catalog salute; students newspaper tribute and the board of trustees acknowledgment of his contribution. "I feel these are really compliments on the importance of agriculture to the people in McHenry county," he com­ mented. "It is a testimonial to agriculture." Barrett recalls he started the MCC ag program with or­ namental horticulture. "We felt students were more marketable in these type jobs," he said. He taught the classes, from land­ scape design to agriculture chemistry. Programs evolved with horticulture featuring land- USED BOATS!

Ag management programs came next, relating to farm management and farming, followed two years ago with business programs for suppliers to farmers. Barrett issued a reminder that should be heard by the board of trustees and the faculty. "The college must market the school to students, then it must market students to industry," he repeated as he noted a decline in the number of students in agriculture-related curricula. One of the strong features of the MCC approach has been the use Of test plots and other methods for practical first-hand experience. Barrett is proud to discuss the myriad programs that enable "hands-on" ex­ perience-such as bees, flowers, turf, golf green, corn, and soybeans. The college has 46 acres of test plots, most of it in corn and soybeans. In addition to student learning the test {dots are centers for field trips with many adult groups. Victor will pursue the massive roots development project. The theory is to develop crop bearing plants with root systems as massive as those of prairie plants. Such root systems could help reduce soil erosion, and would allow residue to decay after a growing season. Barrett says the purpose of the MCC project is to attempt to develop new strains of seeds that would produce a good crop as well as consistently massive root systems. Barrett charac­ terises this as "returning bade to nature" and thinks a breakthrough in this project could be a significant development. Hie corn project adviser is Robert Muirhead, a hybrid plant breeder who designed and supervises the research and developed the evaluation techniques. Floyd Anderson, a local feed and hatchery em­ ployee is the soybean project: advisor. Another major effort to be : continued is the bio-mass ex­ periments in cooperation with Don and Dick Stoxen, Harvard cattle feeders, and Sam Carney, president of an agriculture business in Skokie. In the Stoxen farm experiment, the material used is produced from beef manure. Natural material produces a biological activity in organic matter, releasing plant foods to crops in field ex­ periments. This summer Barrett will be teaching a summer course for the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The course is aimed at high school teachers of chemistry and the biological sciences.
