"Episode" 1 - Poultry Production

"Episode" 2 - Calving Season - Part 1

Hello Ag. Education Students at OHS!

Here are the enrichment activities I have compiled for OHS Ag Education students. These were all explained to students before we were dismissed on Monday. They were informed that they had the freedom to choose which activities they wanted to complete over the course of this quarantine. My 8th grade ag students were already sent home with a packet of worksheets that accompany the official National FFA student manual/handbook. I also plan to create "Vlogs" for my livestock management class where I go through beef production management practices, horse management and care, and poultry production management practices where I can teach them how I care for my own livestock here at my ranch, incorporating principles we've been discussing in the classroom. I don't have those done yet, but will send you the links to them to share as they are completed.

COVID-19 and Agriculture Current event Project

Where would we be in times like this without agriculture? You tell me. Do research and create a presentation on how pandemics of this scale (COVID-19) affect all of the different branches of global agriculture, including (but not limited to): farmers and ranchers, markets and market prices, trucking, retail, packing plants, etc.

AET Updates and CDE Study Materials

Students may use this time to update any SAE or FFA hours, income and expenses, journal entries, etc. onto The AET. Chapter number for login purposes is NE0175. Additionally, more than likely state CDE’s will be rescheduled and we will still need to figure out a way to compete in them. With this being said, you should still be studying for the CDE you made it to state in (if you made it). Create study materials for current and future teams to use when it comes to studying for whatever CDE you have chosen.

Agriculture Documentary Reflection Paper

Below is a list of agriculturally-related documentaries that can be found on Netflix (or other online streaming platforms). Sadly, most of the documentaries about agriculture on Netflix are “anti-agriculture”. Choose three or four of the documentaries on this list to watch, and write a 1-2 page reflection essay over what you watched, addressing questions like “What are your overall thoughts on this documentary? What are some counter-arguments that refute the claims made in this documentary in support of agriculture? What did you learn?” etc.
