Fieldtrip to Tyson-Guillard Farm
The residents Compensatory Education class at South Piedmont Community College went on a fieldtrip Tuesday, October 25th, to Tyson-Guillard Farm in Monroe. The class toured the farm and watched how soybeans were processed. They were also shown how to plant wheat. Two Union County police officers volunteered their time and escorted the caravan to the farm- how cool is that! They also gave Sedrick the full service treatment by riding him on the 4 wheeler all around the farm, to the applause of his classmates. The best part of their whole trip was seeing the tractor trailer truck back up to the silo and collect the soybeans. Everyone learned a lot and truly enjoyed their time “down on the farm”, and they are looking forward to going back when it’s time to harvest the wheat!
