School Plans To Add Ag Curriculum

View descriptionShare

Did you know that Wisconsin Farm Technology Days actually started as a plowing contest back in the 50's?  Bob Bosold talks with two retired western Wisconsin farmers that were part of the grand event when it first began.

U.S. Ag Secretary, Tom Vilsack, announced millions of dollars in federal aid that's pointed toward expanding meat and poultry processing capacities.  The announcement was made on Friday in Iowa, along with 3 Wisconsin counties being declared as primary disaster areas due to drought.

Finally, a school district in Sharon, Wisconsin is looking to add agriculture curriculum to their K-8 line up!  Dr. Sara Andrus, district administrator explains their $700,000 grant reward from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for the
creation and expansion of the Virtual Academy of Agriscience and Technology (VAAST) charter school.
