4-H Swine Club
Special GCREC Visitors Last Month...
| This past month we hosted two student tours, Kinder Care and the 4-H Swine Club. These student tours bring with them a lively exchange, interest and a multitude of questions from young minds that are opened to a new world of science in agriculture that we sometimes take for granted. After a presentation and "hands-on" tour, they are taken to the field where they get to pick their own tomatoes. A special thank you to Dr. Jim Price and Dr. Jim Mertely, who always generously give their time to instruct and answer questions and also to Christine Cooley for her presentations, preparation and coordination of activities that make these tours especially fun and educational for the kids.
