Our green house is coming along very well with all sorts of new technology. The water and gas are currently in the process of getting hooked up and a few more tables need to be built in. They are debating on using hydroponic (using mineral nutrients solution in water with no soil) or aquaponic, which is a system using farmed fish waste.

The new FFA Chapter is grateful for a dedicated community/program investment of $27,000 from United Farmers cooperative and partnering corporations! Farm-City Hub Club members, Pete and Linda Neigebauer and their family, have been long time supporters of agriculture education and gave a gracious donation of $20,000 towards the purchase and installation of the greenhouse. We also want to thank Don Anderson with State Farm insurance whom kindly donated $2,500, Tim Knaak for his great donation of $1,000, and Randy Rieke with his helpful donation of $750.

This project will provide students and FFA members a platform to study agronomy, horticulture, and plant science curriculums. Future curriculum options will be added to the greenhouse facility fulfilling educational opportunities involving wind power with a wind turbine and solar power with panels. Along with this there will potentially be hydroponics, biotechnology trials, genetic, and cultivator experiments.
