Agriculture is in Morgan Klaiber’s blood. The Lethbridge College student ranches near Medicine Hat with her dad and grandfather.
Klaiber is enrolled in Lethbridge College’s Agriculture Animal Science program, and is the president of the campus’ Aggie Club, which aims to promote agriculture within the school and its wider community.
About 60 students are taking part in the Aggie Club this year — the group recently hosted Ag Awareness Day, with the mission of showcasing agriculture to fellow students and staff.
According to Statistics Canada, from 2006 to 2011, the number of reported farm operators decreased by over 13.4 per cent.
Tom Reinhardt, another Aggie Club member, said the event offers a hands-on experience without having to leaving campus to learn more about farming.
