A determined group of Rotarians braved -- OK, tolerated -- the cold but much-needed rain to hear about and tour the high school's farm plot. Morgan Matheson, one of this year's FFA leaders at RFHS, told us about how the various parts of the mini-farm work. There is a shared garden area, berry bushes, a small apple orchard, bees, an area planted in corn and soybeans to raise revenue, and more. One of the points Morgan emphasized, with help from the several FFA alumni who were there with us, is that most if not all ideas for the farm come from the students. The alum's happily pointed out how FFA at RFHS has grown, and Ryan Pechacek as the FFA faculty advisor provided his perspective. Morgan demonstrated both her knowledge and enthusiasm for what she and others do and learn "out on the farm", and several of us there share the opinion that a re-visit in the fall -- and in better weather -- will be well worthwhile.
