As AgNet West has reported on before, the FARMS Leadership program provides high school students hands-on learning in all agriculture fields by touring local companies and learning what all goes into the agriculture industry. The program is part of The Center for Land Based Learning and some groups are doing so well that they are expanding.

Fresno FARMS Leadership Program Coordinator Claudia Sersland says the goal is to show students what the industry fully involves and adding additional groups means more students reached without affecting the hands-on experiences.
