Prairie View A&M University will use the funds provided by the grant to support travel to Texas A&M University, local poultry farms and other local poultry industry visits.
Poultry industry leaders from Cargill, Prestage Farms and Pilgrim’s participated in a program that informed the students about the multitude of career opportunities in the industry.
The grant funds will be used to raise awareness of the significant expansion of the poultry industry in South Georgia and the correlating opportunities for well-prepared graduates.
