Across the state of Wisconsin, high school agriculture programs and FFA chapters are having their spring plant sales. We can't make it to them all, but Stephanie Hoff did attend a special sale over the weekend. Sauk Prairie High School just opened the doors to the new Jeff Hicken Horticultural Learning Center. Jeff Hicken was an agriculture instructor at Sauk Prairie High School for nearly a decade. Then he became the Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Education Consultant and State FFA Advisor with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction in 2006. He held that position until he passed in 2021. At the ribbon cutting for the new greenhouse, Jeff’s son and State FFA Officer Cole Hicken says this learning center will carry on his dad’s legacy. Ag instructor Troy Talford talks about the coursework that'll take place in the new greenhouse. And alumnus BJ Chrisler talks about the fundraising.
