John Deere Tech 2223 S. Horton St. (23rd & Horton)
About the Coffee this week:
The John Deere program at Fort Scott Community College began in 2002 at the Frontenac campus, with the inaugural class of 13 students graduating with an Associate Degree in 2004. In 2017, the program was relocated to Fort Scott to better serve Bourbon County residents. Recently, the college introduced a one-year John Deere certificate, with the first cohort starting on June 3, 2024, comprising 25 students. Heritage Tractor generously funded the renovation of a classroom to accommodate these new students. The John Deere Advisory Board, which includes representatives from both the John Deere dealership and surrounding dealers, is highly supportive of the program.
