On October 3rd, 24 members of the Mid-Prairie FFA attended the Iowa Extension Ag Exploration Day event held at the Southeast Iowa Research and Demonstration Farm near Crawfordsville. The goals of this event were to engage students in hands-on learning, get students excited to enter careers in agriculture, teach students skills they can use at home, and provide networking opportunities. Students rotated through five stations, learning about a variety of topics ranging from learning about planters & seedbed preparation, welding, feed rations, tomato grafting and crop marketing. Students had the opportunity to visit with representatives of local community colleges and ISU, and they also participated in a career panel with local industry leaders.
