A dual-credit course program in Nebraska’s second largest city connects students in the city to opportunities in agriculture.
Tom Wheeldon who teaches at The Career Academy in Lincoln says ag literacy is the biggest challenge he faces when working with students. “As soon as you break down ag literacy and just understand it and be willing to learn, you can do anything,” he says. “It shouldn’t be a barrier so plants are plants and animals are animals so we can break it down and make it work for them.”
Lincoln East Senior Maddison Hall tells Brownfield living in town limits her classmate’s knowledge of what ag offers.
