FFA Not Just For Farmers
Wagener Salley High School agriscience teacher and FFA advisor Williams argues most students pursue processing and related fields rather than farming. He notes less than 2 percent farm, while about four in ten agribusiness jobs involve processing, labs, engineering, or environmental work. The FFA name was changed in 1987 to reflect broader careers in agriculture. Wagener Salley is one of four Aiken County schools offering agricultural courses and an FFA chapter.

A technical sub committee favored Option 4 costing about 896 000 to address Wise Hollow Basin flooding after meetings with residents from the south side and College Acres. The plan would install pipes along Wedgewood and Converse Drives and build a 10 foot bottom along Woodwardia, using terrain to avoid large tree removals and allow expansion into other options if funds permit.
