Southern Indiana facility brings farm education to students

2016-02-01 03:06:29| Agriculture - Topix.net

In 1948, the U.S. War Assets Administration donated 220 acres of land near the former Freeman Army Airfield to Seymour Community School Corp. The deed required the district to use the property as a school farm, where students would learn how to plant and harvest crops by actually doing the work themselves. Through the years, use of the farm for hands-on educational purposes dwindled, and in more recent years, the ground has been farmed by outside parties, providing some income to Seymour High School's ag department and FFA chapter.
