This series included artificial insemination, fruit tree grafting, BQCA, and Speech workshop and practice. thirty seven high school ag students were taught artificial insemination and learned to pass a breeding rod through a bovine reproductive tract, 28 students were taught to graft fruit trees and grafted their own tree to take home and plant. 20 students were trained in BQCA, and 22 students participated in a speech contest after participating with extension in a speech workshop where thy practiced speeches to extension agents and were critiqued and helped to make it better. This series allowed students who are interested in agriculture to discover what they liked about different areas of production.
