ALBION – FFA member Aaron Burnside shows students a farm tractor, which he told them cost $450,000.
The FFA is hosting its annual Mini-Farm Day today, with elementary students visiting 12 stations of equipment and animals. The event is held the last day of school before Easter break.
This year’s Mini-Farm includes chicks that hatched through an ag science class. Shelby Restivo holds this 7-day-old chick.
These chicks hatched 28 days ago.
