Email address: SHOW NOTES KEY IDEAS:  The shutdowns caused by the coronavirus are having dramatic impacts all across the world.  Every aspect of our society is being affected.  This is true in schools as well.  The obvious impacts for students are the shutdowns of schools, the losses of special events for seniors and the possible cancelations of graduations. For students in agricultural education these impacts can go even deeper.  Many students in agricultural education have invested their own money and lots of time in projects that they hope will pay off later.  Students plant vegetable gardens and strawberry patches, hoping to sell these perishable goods at roadside stands and farmers markets.  Or, student purchase livestock, raise them on purchased feed for months, hoping to take them into competition and then sell them at a youth livestock auction. With the coronarvirus closures many of these opportunities have been stolen away from these students.  This leaves them with a lot of money and time invested, and no possible payoff. On today's show we are going to highlight an effort to help students receive the recognition they will be missing and to recuperate the losses from not having a livestock sale.  Two great companies, The AET and Tallo, have come together to provide $1,000 grants to students who have missed out on these opportunities and have lost money. Jennifer Eaves, the marketing director for Tallo as well as Roger Hanagriff, the creator of The AET, will be joining me on this episode to talk about this grant, how to qualify and how to apply.  And, if you don't need the grant but would like to donate money to support a student in agricultural education, they will talk about how to do that as well.
