Students in the Principles of Agriculture at BMS will learn about FFA, animal breeds, flowers, welding, and more. During class time, students will plant seeds, memorize speeches, and learn the importance of shop safety. Our FFA organization has many different opportunities for students to partake in, such as raising animals, competing on teams, and community service events. These opportunities allow students to learn time management, public speaking skills, properly caring for a livestock animal and many other skills they will carry with them throughout their future endeavors. Agriculture is used daily, from farm animals to grocery store food to metal frame supporting buildings. This class, in partnership with the FFA department, aims to highlight the importance of agriculture in our daily lives.
