Agriculture Classroom Equipment
The mission of the AgStar Agriculture Classroom Equipment Grant Program is to support rural areas in AgStar’s service area by funding equipment for high school agriculture classrooms.
High school ag education departments in rural areas are struggling with limited budgets, many lacking adequate and up-to-date equipment. Even though many of these departments have the essentials, schools can't always afford new technologies to upgrade or replace old equipment. This grant program is designed to help alleviate some of those financial constraints for ag programs in rural high schools.
