Agriculture Food & Natural Resources

Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources (AFNR)

The Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) program at Poteet High School introduces students to the industries that support life itself—food, water, land, and air. Through hands-on learning and career-focused instruction, students gain the skills to pursue both traditional and cutting-edge agricultural careers.

This Career Cluster includes a wide range of opportunities, from farmers, ranchers, and veterinarians to geologists, conservationists, florists, and technicians in renewable energy sectors like wind and solar. Whether students want to raise livestock, engineer ag systems, or explore sustainable practices, AFNR provides the foundation.

Program Focus Areas

• Applied Agricultural Engineering
  Explore mechanics, fabrication, and technical systems used in modern agriculture—from welding and hydraulics to ag construction.

• Animal Science
  Dive into the world of animal care, livestock production, and veterinary science, with a focus on real-world applications and industry standards.

Who Should Enroll?

Students who enjoy working outdoors, caring for animals, problem-solving, and learning through hands-on projects will thrive in the AFNR program.
