The Alliance High School FFA Program was the recipient of a $10,000 grant on behalf of CoBank and WESTCO. The contribution was made as part of CoBank’s Sharing Success program. CoBank is one of WESTCO’s regional cooperative business partners, serving rural America.

The funds will go toward the purchase of a Nelson Pade Clear Flow Aquaponics F5 System, which will be used by FFA students to raise vegetables and fish. This project was targeted by the organization, to expand opportunities offered to the growing number of Alliance FFA Students.

WESTCO President/CEO David Briggs said, “Thank you to CoBank for making this donation possible. Agriculture is a major employer and a way of life in our area. WESTCO is excited to support this project at Alliance High School, which we hope increases participation in the agriculture program and will allow more students the ability to gain hands-on experience.”
