A Wisconsin high school is exposing more students to ag-related careers through its youth apprenticeship program.
Troy Talford tells Brownfield the Sauk Prairie school district starts by showing students where their food comes from. “We are trying to keep people as informed consumers and making them more aware of where their food comes from, and their impact on the world, and then along the way, if we can hook them in an ag career, that’s just an added bonus.”
Talford is the school’s agriculture educator for half of the day, and the apprenticeship coordinator the other half of the day.
