Good afternoon, we will no longer need help clearing out the Ag Ed shop Tuesday morning. This has been taken care of. Thank you!

We’re looking for volunteers to help remove equipment and supplies from the Ag Ed shop on Wednesday, June 25 at 9:00 AM. The shop floors are being refinished, and everything must be cleared from the area beforehand. Your help would be greatly appreciated—many hands make light work! Thank you in advance for your support!
