Farmgirl Preps Future Farmers

Farmgirl/teacher/soon-to-be mom Nicki Jones is bringing agriculture to her high school classroom, melding experience from her life growing up on a farm and managing one now with the applied sciences behind farming operations. Jones tells the Cinci Enquirer that one of the challenges she faces is that people think agriculture is only about farming. But she says she focuses her instruction on the science and agriculture applications to the students. The paper reports that she and her husband run a horse farm, in all her spare time.
