We want to provide students with an hands-on learning experience on campus. A lot of students that come through our program has never set foot on a real farm or even seen a real farm animal, with this farm we can offer students the chance to get hands-on experience while never having to leave the campus. We currently have newly built barn with 6 stalls, an attached corral/working facility. Our barn and facility was built by students under my instruction. My students have gained a lot of knowledge about construction and farming practices. The fencing materials we are asking for will allow students to gain even more experiences about farming and fencing.
