The Wapello County 4-H Career Pathways Academy students enjoyed visiting Vermeer Corporation last Friday. Thank you for having us!
Exciting last Friday at Vermeer Corporation! High school students from Ottumwa had an eye-opening tour of our plant 7, guided by our amazing Vermeer Spanish team members Luis Sican and Jennifer. They shared insights, answered questions, and showcased the heart of our operations. From cutting-edge machinery to teamwork in action, it was an inspiring experience to see how the students came prepared with interesting questions (look at those clipboards) and how our Vermeer Spanish team members are finding ways to make a real impact with diverse youth, not only internally but outside Vermeer. ¡Gracias, equipo Vermeer and Ginny Kjer, M.S. from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach for connecting with us! #VermeerPlantTour #ERGinaction

Adair County 4-H member, Taylor Ommen, is bringing her STEM research to a national stage! 🍀 🤩 🔬 Taylor's research is around decomposition rates of soil. This research is important for many reasons, but for Ommen, she said it's because she can help farmers and the people of Iowa, understand what additives increase the nutritional value of the soil, which in turn, can yield better and stronger crops. 👏 🌱 Read more ➡ https://lnkd.in/g4_kGqAD
