Hall County Farm Bureau Provides Funding to Hall County Schools Agribusiness Center

By Sydney Hencil Anchor/Reporter

The Hall County School District received a $50,000 donation from the Hall County Farm Bureau to help expand facilities at the Hall County School District Agribusiness Center.

 

“The generosity of the Hall County Farm Bureau is greatly appreciated, and we are proud to partner with them in exposing more students to careers in agriculture,” Hall County Schools Superintendent, Will Scholfield said in a press release.

 

Scholfield said as more students begin to take advantage of hands-on learning opportunities at the farm, the need for permanent restrooms and locker rooms becomes a necessity.

 

“Part of our mission at the Farm Bureau is to ensure the future success of farming in our area,”  Hall County Farm Bureau President, Jerry Truelove said in a press release.

 

Truelove said that investing in young people who are interested in agriculture is one of the many ways the Farm Bureau can fulfill the future success of farming in the area.

 

Drew Echols, a member of the Hall County Farm Bureau and general manager of Jaemor Farms agreed with Truelove.  Echols said in a press release that they have to be advocates for agriculture and the young people who have a passion for it.

 

“When we saw there was a need at the Agribusiness Center for locker rooms--and that we had the resources to help--it just made sense,” Echols said.
