In 2023, Cambridge Public Schools Superintendent Jarod Albers approached high school agriculture teacher and FFA advisor Rhiley Fiene about a hands-on learning experience for students. This conversation kickstarted the Cambridge FFA Beef Program.
“The first year, the school funded the project to buy five yearling heifers,” Fiene says.
Through the program, Nebraska FFA members raise cattle to their desired weight before sending them to market. Watch this process unfold below to see how they’re learning valuable skills while investing in their futures.
