Seaboard Foods contributes $15,000 to HHS ag shop

Seaboard Foods and CoBank collectively contributed $15,000 to the ag shop class at Holyoke High School. The funds allow the school to upgrade outdated metalwork, woodworking and agricultural equipment. Seventy students in the rural district will benefit from learning important technical, STEM and life skills using the new equipment.

“We are so grateful for the grant from Seaboard Foods that will help us upgrade and purchase new tools for the Holyoke Ag Shop,” aid Shauna Strecker, Holyoke High School ag teacher and FFA adviser. “We have a large number of students interested in pursuing a career in the trades skills area, and it is so important that they are being trained on up-to-date and industry standard equipment. This grant will allow us to do this!”
