"There is natural compatibility between DMACC's agricultural programs, the curriculum offered in secondary agricultural education and statewide FFA activities.  DMACC can benefit from additional space to expand its growing agricultural programs, and the FFA will benefit from an exceptional facility and ability to share on-going operating expenses to enhance learning opportunities for its members statewide.  Our arrangement will allow both parties to reach our goals and fulfill their missions.   Robert Denson President Des Moines Area Community College
