Students Get Their Hands Dirty at SEEAG's Farm Lab in Saticoy
By Isaiah Murtaugh / Monday, February 6th, 2022 / Ventura County Star
In small plastic tubs, the third grade students layered gravel and wood chips. The gravel represented a water-storing aquifer, the wood chips represented soil.
"What else do we have on a farm?" educator Laura O'Malley asked.
The students stayed quiet as they clustered around their irrigation models at the educational farm site in Saticoy run by Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture, or SeeAg.
O'Malley pointed to a group of farmworkers gathering strawberries in a neighboring field. "What are those moving things over there?" "People!" one student piped up.
The students, from Glen City Elementary School in Santa Paula, had piled off a bus Thursday morning onto the grounds of SeeAg's Farm Lab, a small slice of land on the corner of Petty Ranch that the education nonprofit uses to teach third graders the basics of agricultural science.
