What is the Summer Ag Academy?
Agriculture is the most important industry to the Magic Valley and to the state of Idaho. Students of the age 12-17 can come explore what agriculture is all about as they learn about the diversity and breadth of the industry. Students will tour ag businesses in the local area and participate in hands-on learning activities at the CSI Breckenridge Farm with the CSI Agriculture Department.
What Will Your Student Experience?
Agriculture is so much more than farming - students will get to explore the entire process of bringing agricultural commodities to market.
From farm to table students will explore:
- Crop production
- Soil
- Irrigation
- Animal care
- Veterinary technology
- Food processing
- Ag equipment and more!
Come experience hands-on learning at the CSI Breckenridge Endowment Farm, Veterinary Clinic, Food Processing Lab, and Fish Hatchery. Students will also get to tour and network with local agriculture businesses.
