This morning I braved the cold and rain in Siskiyou County (actually it was more cool and drizzly) to attend the annual ag education day at the fairgrounds in Yreka, where hundreds of fourth-graders learn all about the commodities in their unique county.
In the photos, from the top, Yreka FFA leaders Harley McEwen and Whitney Schack, both 18, give a primer on raising sheep; College of the Siskiyous instructor Angelina Cook shows the kids a bottle from a horseradish farm in Tulelake; and COS program director Marian Murphy-Shaw explains that eight out of 10 employed adults inj the county work for a small business.
