Just this last week we were out of school monday, tuesday, and wednesday due to a power outage, so we missed time on the farm and in class for Sust. Ag. This power outage also caused one major issue on the Farm. Our automatic watering system was now turned off, this meant we had to go to the farm to water our beds to ensure our plants stayed happy and healthy. We have an automatic watering system on our farm and it helps to water every bed by using a process called drip irrigation. However this great system was useless with the power out, so students had to go in and water their beds with the watering cans and hoses we have on the farm. We went back to the farm Thursday in class and all the beds were doing fine so the issue was thankfully avoided. This just goes to show you can't always rely on technology to do things for you, make sure to follow the Sust. Ag. Instagram as well @rhssustag.
