A big thank you to Vice President of Marketing, Morgan Neidemeyer (also Black River Alumni) and Branch Manager, Chris Goshe of Sunrise Cooperative for coming out and helping our classes perform grid soil sampling in the Black River FFA Land Lab!

Grid soil sampling divides a field into smaller sections so soil can be tested from different areas. The results help us understand what nutrients the soil needs and guide application decisions for future crops.

Business partnerships like this give our students valuable hands-on learning experiences while supporting our chapter and helping them make connections in agriculture. Thank you, Sunrise, for investing in our students!
