Agriculture Students Grapple With Cancellations of County Fairs and Animal Auctions

Informações:

Synopsis

Future Farmers of America agriculture students have been raising farm animals for months to sell at county fair auctions this summer. But with many county fairs canceled across the state, students aren’t sure if they will be able to do that. Some counties are holding auctions with new social distancing measures, or moving them online. We hear from Deschutes County student Chelsea Buhmann about raising her pig named Rooster, and how the pandemic has impacted FFA.
