This course will help students understand and make responsible decisions regarding the conservation of our natural resources.  Range Management, Soil Conservation will be the critical topics of discussion in this class.  A considerable amount of time will be spent outside working in the native prairie west of the school.  Identification of crops, weeds, grasses, forbs, and soils will be made throughout the Semester.  Students will also learn about fertilizer and chemical treatments and regulations and how agriculture and natural resources can work together to benefit all. Students will compete in Area VI Range Judging Contest and the East Central Land Evaluation contest in September and October.
