Two Commons Myths about Agricultural Education Myth #1- I am not taking an Ag class because I do not want to farm. Myth #2- I plan on attending college and I do not have time to take an Ag class.

Myth #1- I am not taking an Ag class because I do not want to farm. Reality- 95% of our agriculture students do not come from the farm nor do they plan on farming after school. They are interested in one of the other 300 careers available in the Ag industry. 1 in 4 careers in Illinois is related to agriculture.

Myth #2- I plan on attending college and I do not have time to take an Ag class. Reality- Over 90% of our Ag students attend either a 2 or 4 year college or university. Students enrolled in Ag at OHS can earn up to 20 hours of college credit through Black Hawk College. We also have two science classes offered for science credit: BSAA and Environmental science. The FFA offers over $2 million in scholarships every year to its members going to college.
