Summer Ag Institute
Entering into it's 12th year, Summer Ag Institute (SAI) is gearing up for this years fantastic sessions...the first in Corvallis, the second in LaGrande. SAI has a track record of excellent program topics and participation of those who attend. SAI gives participants a broad view of agriculture, forestry and natural resources by providing hands-on labs, tours of farms and industry facilities, and talks from Oregon agriculturalists.
The institute, a three-credit graduate level course for K-12 educators, is a perfect opportunity to acquire factual and fun information for the classroom. For more information regarding classroom resources, see other agricultural related links.
Most students today are growing up without knowledge of where their food and fibers come from. Food comes from a grocery store and clothing from a department store. Beyond that, most have little opportunity for exposure to modern agriculture. This program is that opportunity for educators to gain knowledge about agriculture to pass on to our future...our children.
