US (OH): Hardin-Houston celebrates opening of greenhouse
Noting how fewer students were growing up on the farm and/or had little or no education or experience about raising plants, McCracken saw an opportunity to fill that gap, but the key ingredient, a greenhouse, was needed to facilitate his plan.
Fortunately financial assistance from local donors made the vision a possibility and Hardin-Houston FFA students and faculty members gathered on Oct. 18 to celebrate the completion of a new state-of-the-art greenhouse located on the south side of the high school.
Joining them were some of those that helped make the project a possibility including Karla Pottkotter representing Cargill Inc. and the “Cargill Cares Fund,” Brian Woodell of Fertilizer Dealer Supply, Greg and Danielle Holthaus with Ag Solutions and Kyle Miller with Monsanto.
