Statewide, Iowa (RI) – Construction will start in a few weeks on an Agricultural Learning Center on the Hamilton County Fairgrounds in Webster City, only the second facility of its kind in the state.
Gene Gourley, a fifth-generation farmer from Webster City, says the plans for this ag education center have long been in the works.
Gourley says donations for the center are continuing to come in and the work will begin this spring — as soon as it’s warm enough.
He’s referring to Webster City FFA advisor Kurt Veldhuizen, who is thrilled the proposed center will soon become a reality.
The first classes at the center are scheduled for late August. This is the second such center in Iowa. Muscatine is the home to the first.
