FFA FLOURISHES, TEACHES

I am in ag with Mr. Mason’s eighthgrade class. I joined ag because it can teach you how to farm and how to cut wood and we get to do projects like the blue bird highway. What you do is make a birdhouse and put it on a highway. I was not forced to join ag, it was my choice to join ag.

I’m in the Survey Of Agriculture Systems class. I joined this class to get plenty of opportunities to learn how to work for my family and to help me in my future life. This class is a very helpful class and I have learned a lot from it. It gives us all opportunities to go to events and learn about animal life. It gets us used to working for what we need and how to do stuff.

I am in eighth grade AG, at Pea Ridge Middle School. I love AG, it is the only reason I go to school, other than athletics. I follow a legacy of farmers. I live on my Grandpa’s farm. I help take care of that farm. I joined AG because I am continuing my family’s legacy of farmers. The AET is a program we take online, it stands for the Agricultural Experience Tracker. If you can’t tell this keeps track of your agricultural experience. AG is a great program, that everyone should at least try out.

Chandler Snow

I am in AG class. I like my class and I like learning about animals.

Ashlee Rogers

I am a freshman. I am in ag because I love building things and I would have to go somewhere else if this school did not have ag.

Hunter Salkill

I am in this class because I was not able to get one of my other classes on my schedule due to a core course taking its place, but being in here is nice. I have had fun doing projects in here, currently, we are building birdhouses to do a “Bluebird Highway” and I’ve been enjoying working with my peers so far. There is definitely something to experience going into agriculture classes.

Sloan Sunderman

Hello, my name is and I am a ninth grade survey of agriculture student at Pea Ridge High School. When I first moved here from Arizona, I honestly never pictured myself in an agriculture class, but when I was selecting my classes for the year one class stood out to me: Agriculture Mechanics. The class really interested me, so I signed up for my current class to learn more about it. Over the course of the school year I’ve found that I really want to do mechanics because I like to construct things, such as our bluebird houses we are currently making. Overall, I like my agriculture class and can’t wait to take mechanics next year.

Alyssandra Suddath

I am in Survey of Ag Systems, because I like learning about animals and I also like building things. When I heard that we make birdhouses, I was super excited, because I like building stuff with my dad and I think building things are fun.

Kimberly Ortiz

I joined survey of agriculture because I thought it would be fun. I was right; we have done so many things so far, and there are so many other things to do. I have made some new friends, and learned things I never knew. I started my own SAE (supervised agriculture experience). I am probably going to be in Ag animal science next year.

Jacy Schwyhart

I am a sophomore, and I am in ag because I want to build things, and I want to learn more about agriculture. My uncle owns a cattle company, and I want to learn some of what he does. Mr Mason has taught my family for years. He taught my uncles, cousins, father and my sister.

Hannah Howell

I’m going to tell you about my ag class, I love ag. I love the working in the shop we do and right now we’re building bluebird houses, it’s fun.

Layne Patton

I joined Ag because I wanted to know more about Agriculture and wood working. Ag is one of the most hands on classes offered at the school and I like hands on activities. We learn about all the different types of bovine (cows) and how to build birdhouses.

Trevor Helton

I’m in the ninth grade. I’m in the survey of ag class for Pea Ridge High School. The reason why I’m in ag is because my Nanna owns a beef farm in Anderson, Mo. My goal is to take over the farm when I become older. Without the AG class, plus the help of my grandpa, and the support from Mr. Mason and the other AG students, I wouldn’t be able to do what I’ve dreamed of. AG will always be one of my favorite classes.

Emily Boyd

I am in ag because I enjoy working in the shop and I am going to take animal science next year. I like ag because I can learn things I wouldn’t be able to in other classes.

Lindsey Fletcher

I am in ag because I want to be a mechanic. Ag is the only class where you can learn how to use tools and about animals you might need to take care of some day. This year in ag, I have learned a lot. I’ve learn about bovine and equines. I have had a horse and I learned more from Mr. Mason talking about them than I did owning them. I can’t wait to take the other ag classes like ag mechanics and ag metals. I want to learn how to weld and work on engines. All of my cousins have been in ag. my cousins graduated in little rock and my father was in ag. The shop is my favorite part of the day. My group is kinda annoying but we are doing pretty well on our bird houses. I always wonder what we will do next.

Daneil Gilbert

I’m in AG I like to take AG because I get to work in the shop and learn about farming. This is my favorite class in school I would try to keep from school if I did not have AG.
