Monroe County FFA students explore high tech potato farming
HOWE, IN — Monroe County high school students traveling to this week's National FFA Convention in Indianapolis stopped Tuesday, Oct. 20, at two agricultural businesses in Ohio and Indiana to see the industry in action. Whiteford Agricultural School FFA Advisor/Instructor Jake Gust accompanied 60 FFA students from Whiteford, Dundee, Blissfield, and Sand Creek. The group visited Rupp Seed in Wauseon, Ohio, and Lennard Agriculture in Howe, Indiana, to explore agricultural careers and opportunities. Gust said the goal was to expose students to agricultural careers. Gust noted many students were familiar with corn, soybeans, and wheat, while the visits offered a chance to learn about other aspects of the industry, including specialty crops. Rupp produces crop seeds. Lennard is Michigan's second-largest potato grower. Students toured the expansive Lennard facilities just off the I-80/90 Toll Road south of Sturgis. “This was a great opportunity for our students to learn about the potato industry. There were many exciting experiences today,” Gust said. Kyle Lennard and his wife Stefani, both Monroe County natives, are third-generation owners of a family business founded in 1947 by his grandfather on five acres in Monroe County. The company now owns about 9,000 acres of potatoes across eight locations
