College Dairy to Close in Summer as Interest Drops.

In a move that supporters of the Pierce College farm in Woodland Hills fear is the beginning of the end, the college dairy will be closed this summer and milk production classes will end, the school’s vice president said Friday.
School officials said the dairy was too expensive to maintain given waning student interest in the program. In the spring semester, there were more cows than students, 40 to 16, teachers said.
Community supporters of the college’s 250-acre farm and members of the agriculture faculty said they anticipate more cutbacks after a fall study.
