Warren County Community College (WCCC) is seeking nearly $980,000 in federal funding to enhance its WarrenUAS program, focusing on robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) for agriculture. Congressman Tom Kean Jr. is advocating for this funding, which is part of the fiscal year 2025 budget. The initiative aims to improve WCCC's Agricultural Education and Training Center, integrating advanced technology into agricultural education.
The funding will expand WCCC's capabilities in precision agriculture and drone training, incorporating robotics and AI to modernize food production. Local partnerships, particularly with farmers like Richard Cotton, are emphasized to ensure that technological innovations address real-world agricultural challenges. This initiative not only aims to boost local agriculture but also to attract younger generations to the agricultural sector through technology-driven career opportunities.
