Course Description:

            Here we will study the FFA organization and its activities.  Career opportunities in agriculture, the importance of agriculture and natural resources to Minnesota and Braham, evaluating dairy cattle, general livestock, and horses.

            The class will study and explore a brief piece of each class that is offered in Agriculture. The students will get a small fraction of what each class has to offer with the intent of having them take a full trimester class later in their student career.
