The Vermont State Grange Executive Committee has voted to have the Educational Aid Fund donate annually to the FARM 2+2 Program. We are happy to do this but want to explain a little about the program.
The 2+2 program assists in a student taking a four-year agricultural course. They would go to Vermont Tech for two years and then on to UVM for another 2 years. A small part of that program includes one semester at the Miner Institute in eastern New York.
Students study agronomy, nutrition, plant & soil science, cattle evaluation, and many other agricultural subjects. The Vermont legislature votes a budget to support this program, but nowhere near covers the expenses. The Educational Aid Fund will donate annually to this.
This program is open to ALL persons. For more information or to apply, please contact Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, 116 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05620 www.agriculture.vermont.gov
