The Tarkio FFA Chapter and High School Ag Department hosted an Ag Day for Tarkio Elementary students Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at the school barn. The students were treated to a petting zoo of ducks, a chicken, a rabbit, pigs, sheep, baby goats, and cows, and were able to climb up into a tractor that FFA member Gabe Harms had driven to school that day. Even though it took him an hour to get to school due to the slowness of the tractor, the huge smiles on the children’s faces was worth the long commute, as well as getting all the animals ready for their special debut. Led by Advisor Dustin Lambertsen, the FFA and Ag Department at THS has a huge group of students who daily contribute to their and the school’s animal, crop, flower, and community service work.
