🌽🚜 Ag Day at Ridge View Middle School! 🐷🐣
Ridge View Middle School students had a hands-on, high-energy day learning about agriculture, health, and the many career paths connected to both during Ag Day on February 26. From livestock to lending, biofuels to banking, our students experienced the real-world impact of agriculture in Iowa and beyond.
A big thank you to Mrs. Teague and the Farm Bureau for organizing a day packed with meaningful learning opportunities.
We are grateful to our presenters who shared their time and expertise:
Ag Banking
Lundell Plastics – Zach Renze
Stop the Bleed – Shannon Crum
Veterinarian Dr. Chris Bean (who brought a pig!)
Remington Seed – Kent Grieme
Buena Vista University Institute of Agriculture – Ben Pullen
POET Biorefining – Gabby Bengford
ISU Extension – Brenda
Web Design & CRP – Tim Cohoon
FFA – Mr. Wingert
Trucking – Robinson
Turkey Production – Allen Bond (who brought a turkey and chicks!)
Our students didn’t just sit and listen — they asked questions, handled equipment, met animals, and explored how agriculture connects to health, science, business, and technology. Days like this help students see possibilities for their future right here in our communities.
Thank you to everyone who made Ag Day such a success! 🌾👏

Today, a group of students from Ridge View High School's Industrial Tech program travelled to Marcus to visit with the experts at Marcus Lumber Company. The students really came away with realizing that everything you may need for a new house or remodel can pretty much be bought from this one stop. THANK YOU Marcus Lumber for the visit!!!
