The kids from the local highschool will be coming down to the farm tomorrow to watch me butcher a few hogs...I think it's great that the principal will let them come down here and watch how the process really happens...yeah, there's always 1 or 2 kids that are grossed out by the process, but it shows them what has to happened for them to get food on their table...some of the highschool kids are working part-time at my place for their ag co-op work release program and they've been great workers...It puts a smile on my face to be around them, they are so eager and willing to learn about farming, and you just don't see that as much these days...some of them might not be the best farmers in the world, but as I told their FFA teacher, if they are willing to learn, then i'm willing to try to teach them...there's no substitute for experience, and there's just some things the kids can't learn about farming while sitting in their FFA classroom
Do any of yall have tours and what not at your farms for the local highschools and FFA? The teachers and principal really appreciate it, and I appreciate seeing them kids get just a little more interested in farming at least
