American Crystal Sugar was proud to award Crookston FFA a check for $5,000 to help provide funds so that the students can have hands-on experience in landscape and agronomy fields.
The funds will be used to landscape the school and incorporate the following: Main entrance landscape with Pirate pride point of interest; Butterfly garden to use for hands-on learning of pollinators; Bee boxes to use for hands-on learning of pollinators and honey production; Raised garden boxes for food production; and Drone usage in agronomy and precision agriculture.
The objectives of these projects are to design a school landscape that promotes agricultural areas: agronomy, horticulture, food science, and pride in our school. American Crystal supports these efforts and hopes this grant will help to assist the Crookston FFA with these projects.
