Corn Variety Plot

The Corn Plot is looking good thanks to the great weather we have had so far this summer.   In the coming days students will be puting up variety signs to recognize those which were planted. 

Garden is Growing!

The garden is off to a great start thanks to many FFA Members who have volunteered their time this summer to help plant, weed, and take care of the plants.  We are hoping to have some produce ready for the first few weeks of school!

Garden Project

This summer FFA members and the Advisors will be growing a 1 acre garden of vegetables near the fair grounds in Arlington.  The food grown will be harvested in the fall and used in the school cafeteria!    The project is being funded by two grants received.  One grant is from Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative and the other by the Minnesota Ag Education Leadership Council.    So far the land has been tilled and potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers were planted yesterday!  

Landscape Project Complete!

The 9th Grade Ag Students finished up their project just in the nick of time!    Most students worked hard and should be pround of their accomplishment!  

9th Grade Landscaping Project

The 9th Grade Ag Class is working on a landscaping unit this spring.  One of the projects that we are working on is redoing a landscape on the school grounds.  Students did a site analysis, tear out of the old, and will put in new soon!  Check back for more updates!

The site as tear out began....
