The OVCTC Ag Business students have been actively engaged in several activities this week! Students have been constructing their wood projects in the junior class, and welding in the senior class. The senior class was fortunate to have Jason Sneed present to the class as well! Jason is an agronomist and the soils coach for Wilmington College, and he was introducing the class to special soil needs for farms that may go overlooked. We appreciate Jason taking time out of his day to help us, and the students for being so attentive and working hard these past couple weeks.
