The new agriscience building at Luxemburg-Casco High School is allowing students to learn beyond textbooks and videos. In conjunction with the school district, Luxemburg-Casco FFA Alumni members have helped make the building a reality by installing the necessary equipment for a greenhouse, a chicken coop, and an area for small and large mammals. In the future, the building will house space for hydroponics and aquaponics. Agriculture and FFA advisor Justin Selk says there will be plenty of opportunities for students to learn inside the building’s walls.

Selk says its 30-plus member FFA chapter has been relatively quiet this year due to COVID-19 restrictions but believes it has proven to be more than just “cows, plows, and sows.”

Chapters in Door and Kewaunee counties are taking time to celebrate National FFA Week through Saturday. This is part of series of stories highlighting the area’s active chapters.
