Today in class, our students are discussing this interesting article from Farm Bureau!

Thanksgiving dinner costs fall 5% to $55.18, but farmers face high input costs and weather challenges. See what’s driving price changes in the 2025 AFBF survey.

A huge thank you to Arkansas Baptist Ranch for having the Intro to Animal and Poultry Science class out for a lab this last week. The students got to work cattle and deworm horses! The hands-on experiences are always enjoyed.

The greenhouse is in full swing!
Our Plant Science class and greenhouse workers are actively engaged in hands-on projects.

Plant Science class is comparing turnip growth using different methods within our Bato Bucket system. At the same time, one greenhouse worker conducts an off-the-grid comparison study, while another evaluates NFT hydroponics versus hanging hydroponic systems.

Seeing the creativity and curiosity growing alongside the plants is exciting!

From Sunflowers to Strawberries.
Our Plant Science class and greenhouse workers have worked hard over the past two Thursdays. During the lab on October 2, we pulled new rows, and this week, we planted 900 strawberry plants.

This morning, we cleared out the sunflowers in preparation for planting strawberries. More work will be done in the next few weeks as we continue preparing for strawberries. 🍓

Does anyone know why we grow sunflowers during the summer months? 🌻

And that’s a wrap for the greenhouse season! We finished strong with a final harvest of 16.5 pounds of hydroponic carrots—grown using our Dutch bucket system. Grateful for all the hard work and growth this season brought. Neighbors Mill Harrison
