Hydroponics SAE

Eighth graders Mary Kate and Reyna lead a project on growing red and green butter lettuce. They sell their produce to local schools and learn about agricultural systems under their teacher. With support from a grant, they manage daily operations like adjusting water levels and harvesting. Their experiences highlight the benefits of indoor agriculture and encourage peers to join FFA for hands-on learning.
