Vocational classes, such as agriculture, have become more and more popular. Agriculture helps students to learn different skills that they may need in the fixture. Some of the skills they learn include the care and use of farming equipment, the time and effort needed to take care of crops, and the best feed and care for farm animals. Like any other vocational class, the students enrolled in agriculture are eligible to become members of Future Farmers of America, which is also known as FFA. FFA is a national organization that teaches and perfects the students' skills in agriculture and then helps the students find agricultural related jobs to better prepare them for their role as Future Farmers. The students go to school only half a day, then they go to a job that was selected for them according to their career choice. Some students work at Wolfe Nursery, learning how to care for plants and trees. Others work at Marshall Grain Company learning about the nutritional value of different grains and which grain is the best quality to feed their animals. Donna Hayen.
