Growing a Generation of New Georgia Farmers

This week, Scott's speaking with Hall County School District Superintendent Will Schofield about the Agriculture Business Program there. Students in the work-based learning program not only get hands on training in everything from meat cutting to ag IT, but they also get high school credits and get paid for their work. They even supply protein to the Hall County school lunch program. The fifty-one-acre campus between Gainesville and Clermont was ninety percent funded by COVID relief and other federal funds along with corporate and private donors. And their farm store in open to the public two days a week to buy meat and pork products and even the honey that's produced there by students. https://agribusiness.hallco.org/
