FC Educates High School Students about Ag Careers

FC attended an event at Iowa Lakes Community College yesterday for local High School Students. 15 High Schools with nearly 700 sophomore and junior students attended the event where they selected three educational workshops to learn more about career opportunities. 

Holly Knobbe, FC’s Talent Manger, spoke to the students about Ag Sales and Service Careers. 

Shown to the left is one of two sections of students that learned about agriculture careers. 

Knobbe stated, “It is critical for students to understand that there are great career opportunities in Agriculture. We need the next generation to get excited about the careers available to them because by 2050 the population is expected to double, which is an increase by 2.5 billion people. This will be a great opportunity for this generation to overcome the challenges to feed the growing population.”
