Reply to comment by MrMycroft in Tiny school's wheat crop harvest 'better than a cake sale', set to raise $50k by Real_Carl_Ramirez
I went to a rural school and we had a bumper ag program and a crop field for both education and funds. Sadly, ag and sports is all they care about. They stripped the tech programs until they didn't exist and haven't increased teacher salaries in many years. Their math and (non ag related) science classes were always understaffed and funded. Now, they are being hit with a wave of teachers quitting because they only cared about sports and ag programs. It's a damn shame because I love agriculture but the old guard that rules the school board are stuck in the past.
