Pleasantville —

Middle school students are learning first hand how agriculture is so much more than farming! All 8th graders at Pleasantville School take an Agricultural Careers Exploratory course for 9 weeks. Students learn a bit about farming (the foundation of agriculture and our economy in Iowa) and a whole lot more about off-farm careers in agriculture.

Units include greenhouse propagation, natural resources, parliamentary procedure, animal science, etc.

Pictured, students are showing off their crop dusting airplanes that they each welded! Yes- they learned some basic welding safety and skills in only four days!

Sophomore Ryan Bacon, gave a demonstration of the Ag.Ed./FFA programʼs Plasma Cam- (cnc table) by cutting out all components for the class.
