US (SD): Hitchcock-Tulare FFA gets $10,000 grant for greenhouse project
In the fall of 2016, the Hitchcock-Tulare school will move into a new building with a state of the art agriculture lab. With the grant funds they will be able to include up-to-date horticulture and hydroponics equipment in the agriculture lab. With the new equipment the agriculture program will improve its horticulture, plant science, and food production program.
