Kewaunee County schools take comprehensive approach to ag education

The path in agriculture your kids want to choose will be a compass for where they may take courses in the future. Luxemburg-Casco, Kewaunee, and Algoma school districts are collaborating on agriculture courses so they can all cover their bases beginning next school year. Luxemburg-Casco will serve as a home base for horticulture, while Kewaunee will cover animal science. Algoma’s piece in the puzzle will be precision agriculture, a farming management concept considering different variables to improve sustainability. Algoma Superintendent Jesse Brinkmann says they are currently finding the right teacher for the course, which would be the first of its kind in the state.

According to the Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation, the industry's economic impact in the area is over $80 million annually, $65 million of which is generated by the county’s dairy farms.
