Brennan is continuing his journey as a member of Southern University's Agricultural Leadership Institute.  Our last session was hosted by North Carolina A&T University in Greensboro, North Carolina.

The highlight of our session was a trip to a research farm jointly run by North Carolina A&T, North Carolina State University and local organizations.  Among the things I saw was their swine operation and their organic farm plots.  Of particular interest to me was their high tunnel operations in which they were growing strawberries and other crops.  We learned about a growing tube that we plan to put into use in our melon growing project this summer.  As is always the case, I came home with information that would immediately help me in my quest to sustainably grow food here in Lawrenceville, Georgia.  Thanks to Southern University and North Carolina A&T.
