A high school FFA chapter in North Carolina is getting $15,000 to add a Horticulture storage facility and potting area to its school greenhouses, the Herald-Sun reports.
The North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission awarded the grant to the Princeton High School chapter of the Future Farmers of America.
"These grants provide valuable resources for agricultural education programs to enhance instruction, giving our students the skills necessary for success in the 21st century," says State Agricultural Education Leader Joshua Bledsoe.
FFA is a youth organization of more than 36,000 student members preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business, and technology of agriculture.
