Cottonwood Future Farmers of America purchased a tractor with the help of grant funding from Wiregrass RC&D. The equipment will help students care for the land managed and farmed by the FFA chapter and will specifically serve a greenhouse and garden operation.
With this heavy equipment, FFA can expand their community garden project that provides fresh vegetables and produce to people in our community. The 2021 tractor grant from WRCD continues an investment from 2020 that focused on various agricultural and livestock education, including the vaccination and feeding of rabbits, swine, and cattle, and the farming of vegetables and flowers.
