Farm Management Technology V.4: The capstone course for FMT students is the Farm Project. A comprehensive 5 year business plan for either their home farms or for a startup operation will be produced by students. They do a detailed technical and financial analysis of their current situation; develop managerial and capital projects to improve the operation, and describe the financial impacts that their plans will have on the farm for the coming five years. The projects will then be defended in front of a marking committee composed of FMT staff. This course includes the final requirement of the collegial comprehensive assessment.

Farm Management Technology: Landscape Design is a complementary course intended to broaden your education. The students will learn how to produce an artistic creation, in this case a landscape design, using the basic elements (lines, forms, colours and textures), symbols and techniques of landscape design; you will take into consideration both the aesthetics and the functions of landscapes as well as landscape styles (rural vs. urban, formal vs. informal, etc.). The students will learn to analyze an existing landscape as well as incorporate new design elements including plants (trees, shrubs, lawns, flowers) and inert materials (walls, fences, paths, buildings, etc.).
