Students present FFA projects
The agriscience projects of three of Pike County’s Future Farmers of America students were presented before the board of education at the Dec. 14 meeting. The students recently presented their projects at a national FFA convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.
FFA teacher Greg Watts presented the project of Warren Snell. He researched materials and created a pesticide from natural and edible ingredients. He has since patented the coconut-oil based formula and sold it to Liquid Fence, a company that produces natural fertilizers and animal repellents.
“It’s because of the board that we had the chance to go and present these projects,” said Watts. “We have a wonderful program and our students are doing a great job.”
