A group of farming advocates and educators plans to open a hands-on ag education center. 

Candise Miller is with the Farming for the Future Foundation, which began in central Wisconsin three years ago.  Miller tells Brownfield they have a great board with ambitious plans to educate people about agricultural innovation and sustainability with a two-pronged approach, “focusing on education starting with young ones in the classroom at the fourth-grade level and helping them to kind of just build their own foundation around agricultural topics, and then we also have plans around a physical location to bring the message to a broader audience.”
