Many people believe the best way to teach others about the important role agriculture plays in each of our lives is through education. Williston State College Ag department held a “Living Ag Classroom” for Williston elementary and middle school students - giving the students the opportunity to attend different presentations showcasing various careers in agriculture.
Each program of study at WSC set up presentations for the students. The Ag department set up a rotation with five different stations giving students the chance to interact with each of them:
1) Justin Jacobs managed a station where students could plant their own bean seed.
2) Ross Meusel and Stephanie Persson allowed students to handle and learn about week old chicks.
3) Kayla Crooker, Chase Usselman and Melissa Clark were in charge of two bottle calves and allowed students to pet and learn fun tidbits on them.
4) Zach Sundheim and Amy Jore showcased Amy’s quarter horse and educated the students about the care and management of horses.
5) Duaine Johnson and Tim Hendrickson taught the students about the John Deere tractor that Gooseneck Implement graciously allowed them to use for the event.
President Kayla Crooker stated, “Overall many students were thrilled to be there and enjoyed the experiences.”
