Welcome to "Agriculture at SHS"!  For the first term this year the classes offered are;  Small Animal Science, dealing with companion animals; Natural Resource Mangement, dealing with understanding our resources and how to manage them for sustainability; and Plant and Earth Science, dealing with understanding our soil, it's relationship with plants, and some of the plants we depend on for our survival. 

Agriculture is the #1 industry in the nation!  Agriculture is such a broad subject area, it's not just about farming any more. I happened upon an interesting quote the other day that really sums up the importance of production agriculture to our lives, it's good food for thought...

"At least once in your life you will need a doctor, a lawyer, a police officer, or a preacher.  But every day, three times a day, you need a farmer."  ~Darin Von Ruden.
