AISD ag students compete in Tarrant County Jr. Livestock Show
March 7, 2019 - 色窝窝无码一区二区三区 students competed recently in the Tarrant County Junior Livestock Show in Fort Worth. Students exhibited their livestock, both breeding and market, in cattle, sheep, goat, chicken and rabbit species, along with their agricultural mechanics projects. Students also submitted their work in other divisions, including leather works, desserts, plants/flower arrangements, metal art, photography and other artistic categories.
This is just the second year 色窝窝无码一区二区三区鈥檚 Future Farmers of America (FFA) students have competed in this show. It鈥檚 also just the second year the AISD鈥檚 new Agricultural Science Center, funded by the 2014 Bond program, has been open.
鈥淭his is a direct correlation with the bond and new Ag Center,鈥 said Kyle Durr, AISD ag teacher and FFA advisor. 鈥淏efore the bond and the construction of the Ag Center, we could not facilitate the amount of participation and student success聽that we have now.鈥
The new facility opened agriculture education to all high school students in the district. Previously, only Arlington High School and Martin High School had ag programs. Now, students from all six AISD high schools can 鈥 and do 鈥 attend classes at the new facility. Student participation in FFA has soared as well.
鈥淲e鈥檝e had more teams compete in our leadership development events, livestock shows, and career development teams than ever before,鈥 Durr said.
