AgVenture Day was a huge success!

The Black River FFA Chapter welcomed more than 600 preschool through fifth-grade students for our first-ever AgVenture Day at the Black River Education Center. Throughout the day, students got up close with a variety of animals in our petting zoo and learned about their care, uses in agriculture, and the responsibilities that come with raising livestock.

Students also had the opportunity to participate in tractor and farm safety demonstrations, explore tractors, climb into the cab, and ask plenty of questions. It was a fun and interactive way to teach important agricultural and safety lessons while helping younger students learn where their food, fiber, and fuel come from.

A special thank you to our FFA members who shared their animals, tractors, and knowledge to make this day possible. We loved seeing the excitement on the students' faces and look forward to making AgVenture Day an annual tradition!

The agricultural education department's Animal & Plant Science class recently headed out to the wheat field to perform stand counts and evaluate the productivity of our winter wheat crop. Students learned how these counts help determine whether the wheat should continue growing toward harvest or be terminated and tilled under as a green fertilizer crop.
A big thank you to Mr. Lad from Centerra for taking the time to work with our students and share his knowledge and experience in crop management and agronomy!
