about

Agricultural education teaches students about agriculture, food and natural resources.  Through these subjects, agricultural educators teach students a wide variety of skills, including science, math, communications, leadership, management and technology. Currently there is a national shortage of agricultural educators: there will be hundreds of unfilled positions across the United States this year, simply because not enough students are choosing to be agricultural educators.
