Meredith, what does that look like at the high school level with the hands-on for animal sciences, agriculture? What does that look like in Greene County? And then is there an example of a student that maybe you can talk about their experience?
7:26
So hands-on learning in Greene County is really the heart of our agriculture program.
7:32
Our students don't just sit in the classroom and talk about agriculture.
7:36
They actually have opportunities to do the work and take ownership of real agricultural responsibilities.
7:42
One of the most exciting parts of our program is our livestock barn right here on campus.
7:48
Our students get to work directly with sheep, pigs, chickens, and rabbits.

They learn about animal care and nutrition, handling, health, and management, and they gain experience with the daily responsibilities that come with caring for livestock.
