VO AG 1. R. Nehring, R. Warren, and E. Sylvester, WHS seniors, cut pieces for their projects during sixth hour Vo-Ag IV. 2. B. Cowan, Vo-Ag III student, welds a side for his trailer with the new mig welder. 3. E. Sylvester repairs the family tractor for this year’s Vo-Ag 111 project. The Vocational Agriculture program is set up on a four year course of study. Ideally, freshmen are to enroll in Vo Ag I and continue the step-by-step enrollment so that the student can complete the program in four years. However, upperclassmen do enroll in Vo Ag I and complete as much as they can. Subjects studied relate to production agriculture and agribusiness. All activities and projects are aimed to help the student succeed in their chosen field of farming,, agribusiness, or any other field. Communications in agriculture is very important and many activities are centered around speaking, parlimentary law, public 18 relations, and community service.
