Milking high-producing dairy cows is a responsible job! The good milker handles cows quietly and efficiently, following sanitary procedures and correct milking techniques. The milker ensures sanitation of all milking equipment and cleanliness in the milking parlours. A milker’s duties also often include feeding, care of young stock, barn cleaning and maintenance, record keeping, and machine operation. Work is often divided into a morning and evening shift; sometimes a milker lives on the employer's farm. The full-time Milker Technician program prepares students for this type of employment.

Integrated pest management plays a key role in today's agriculture.  Increasingly, growers are trying to reduce their use of chemical pesticides by implementing integrated pest management programs into their crop production procedures. IPM is an ecological approach to suppressing pest populations. UFV’s IPM program teaches the necessary integrated control techniques to keep pests at acceptable levels in effective, economical, and environmentally safe ways. Methods used to control pests through IPM include combinations of crop rotation, trapping of insects, visual inspection, biological controls, environmental controls, and choosing the least harmful chemicals when pesticides are used as a last resort.

This certificate is comprised of 15 credits (5 three-credit courses) and is designed to help producers and agri-service personnel to identify and assess pests in the field and prepare students for entry-level pest scout positions.
