SIU dean joins national task force to promote high tech agriculture
Gilbert Kroening dean of Southern Illinois University Carbondale School of Agriculture will join four other experts in Washington D C in June to create a national reward program for science teachers who use agricultural and biological examples. The effort aims to attract motivated science students to agriculture by highlighting modern, high tech practices beyond rural stereotypes. The task force will seek secondary and possibly elementary teachers, develop a screening or competition process, and secure funding for monetary awards coordinated by Purdue University under the U S Department of Agriculture.
