Spring Agricultural Education Block
This semester, 26 student teachers will be completing their college degrees by student teaching across the state. Their spring semester will include teaching classes, working with FFA members' training teams, attending livestock shows, and helping students with awards and scholarship applications. According to Dr. David Frazier, “This experience is the culmination of their college career and it provides them with the hands-on experience that will set the standard for the rest of their careers.” 
National Farm Life Insurance Awards Agricultural Education Scholarships
"National Farm Life was founded in the shadow of agricultural education in Texas by a former high school ag teacher, and it is quite appropriate that we continue to support young professionals stepping into the agricultural industry,” McGregor said. National Farm Life is proud to support Tarleton State University’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and its students.
Inside the Arena
Several representatives from the Department of Agricultural Education & Communication are serving agriculturally involved youth and communities as they judge multiple livestock shows across the state of Texas.

Agriculture Education Senior, Wyatt Wharton shared, “It is an honor to be able to evaluate livestock and work with exhibitors who are going to be the future of the agriculture industry.”
