Moody High School Agriculture

SAE projects in Fundamentals of Agriculture can be carried over to the 2020-2021 school year.  Just keep up with your records and pictures and they can be applied to next year's project.  SAE projects in 2020-2021 can expand on this years assignment or you can simply add those hours and experience to your project next year. 

ALL students will be required to complete a SAE in the 2020-2021 school year, regardless of courses taken.

Students that started the Beef Quality Assurance online certification will be able to complete their certification in the 2020-2021 school year.  All student's log-ins are on file and will be redistrubated in the 2020-2021 school year.  If you change or modify your account, you are solely responsible for your log-in information.  All students will be required to complete the BQA Certification 2020 in the 2020-2021 school year.  (This includes Intermediate and Advanced students, who completed the previous version of BQA.)

Moody High School

students broke ground on the fruit orchard and small animal pasture.

Summer on The Farm...

Moody Elementary & Middle School Summer Camp students recently helped out on the farm by planting some peppers in the garden and working in the green house.  During the summer, students who wish can volunteer to come to the farm on Wednesday mornings during camp.  Below are some of the great students who volunteered.

We will be constructing our own farm in the coming years at Moody High School.  We will be building eight components that will make a complete ecosystem.  Below, is a list of the eight seperate items we will be building, along with their individual functions.  Our goal is to have everything completed in the 2018 - 2019 school year.

Eight-Tier Ecosystem

1. Rain Barrels – design containers to collect rain water, emphasizing        conservation.
2. Fish Tanks – the water from the rain barrels will be used to sustain the fish and water plants.
3. Green-House - build a greenhouse to start bedding plants, & various other plants.  
4. Garden – vegetable garden will be planted annually with plants started in the greenhouse.
5. Corn Field / Pumpkin Patch – raise a field of corn & pumpkins to emphasize crop development and harvesting.
6. Fenced Pasture – provided space for our out-door classroom demonstrations with livestock.
7. Barn - will house small animals, poultry, and provide storage for feed and supplies.
8. Fruit Orchard – this will allow us to talk about forestry & mature plant development.
