Why We Love Ag.-- By: Becca Grace

The Caprock Ag. Program is one of those great programs that I feel is often overlooked, and for that we are paying the price. Over the years, Caprock Ag. has lost funding and supplies to Tascosa’s Ag. Program. It has gotten to a point where it is ridiculous. Today our teacher, Mr. Harsch is going to a meeting with the school board and Mrs. Harrison to address this problem. I don’t think people realize the heart of some of the students in our Ag. Program. There are students like Wade Malone, Caitlyn Grant, Preslie Wilde, Ethan Black, and Brandon Dominguez that pour their heart and soul into the program and their animals. I got the privilege of going with them to the Junior Livestock Show, and help with the preparations the week before. I don’t think people realize all that goes into making those animals look good and healthy and the pressures of showing in the ring. The week before, we had to wash and clip every lamb, goat, sheep, and pig. Every night we were out at the farm until 9 o’clock and sometimes longer. I encourage everyone at Caprock to come check out the Ag. Program at some time or another, even go to a stock show and see why the Ag. students are trying to save and better the program. We love you Bob!!!
