Doug Ingham, a teacher at the Yorkton Regional High School, recently received the "Outstanding Ag Ambassador Award" from Agriculture in the Classroom. For several years, Doug has been teaching the Agriculture class to Grades 11 & 12 students. An innovative teacher, Doug has utilized the knowledge and expertise of several local area agrologists, to enhance his classroom presentations. The SSCA has been included in this list of guest presenters. In fact, for the past few years, David Struthers of Winter Cereals Canada and myself have taken Doug and his students on a bus tour around rural Yorkton to show them examples of soil degradation and conservation. I've then followed up the tour with a slide presentation and discussion in the class room.
The SSCA congratulates Doug on his award and trusts he will continue to teach such an important subject to the students at YRHS.
