SVCC Grad Will Daniel Has a Cool Job
|
Will Daniel has a cool job because he gets to work outside, doing what he loves. Growing up on a farm in Lunenburg County, Daniel liked the land, growing plants, raising animals and being outside in any weather. Thank
 s to an Associate's degree in Agribusiness from Southside Virginia Community College, he is able to do what he loves and love what he does as a Farm Supervisor for the Virginia Department of Corrections.
His job takes him to farms at correctional facilities in Nottoway, Lunenburg, Halifax and Dinwiddie. He teaches farming to offenders who make up the manpower to harvest and tend to the stock of beef cattle. There are greenhouses, an orchard, goats, cattle and gardens. The produce is sent to a Corrections Farmer's Market and sold. Offenders also learn to grade and cull the produce and some items are consumed at the facilities.
