Exploring the Southeast

 

The last “Summer Ag Tour” was in 2019 traveling to Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario Canada. The goal of our trips is to expose students to as many agricultural industries, new technology, history and college opportunities outside of our little world.

 

Usually, as soon as one tour is planned and stops are finalized, we are thinking of the next summer trip. The thoughts of 2020’s trip to the “4 Corners States” were in the works. As we were tweaking the stops for Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, we went home for Spring Break and the pandemic hit! That cancelled our trip for 2020. The hopes of getting to make the trip in 2021 didn’t look promising either.

 

When approval for field trips opened back up, the planning began again. To help ease the fears of parents we opted to stay closer to home and travel in cars instead of a flying. We are so excited to be able to take students through North Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. Many hours of planning, contacting people, adjusting the plans, double checking the routes and finalizing the stops is about to pay off! Starting early morning on June 1st, we will be on the go through late night June 10th.

 

Watch the blog as students and chaperones write about their experiences on this journey. Stay in touch through Facebook and Instagram.

 

And yes, next year’s ag tour is already being planned! Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois will be the destination. We would love to have you come along, either in person or virtually.

Until Next Year
