I'm a high school ag teacher.
I'm working on an idea this year to try and get kids more excited about agronomy.
I'm going to have them make a 12" deep, 2' by 2' box. We will then have each group grow a "field" of wheat. They will have to make management decisions (as we learn things throughout the semester) regarding seeding, water/fertility mgt. etc. and at the end of the time period we will hand harvest and weigh the "crop" to see which field did the best.
Any suggestions or thoughts on this??
