On January 22, WHS students in Ms. King's biology class learned how biotechnology is important in agriculture. Mr. Donnie Richardson shared how farming has changed over the years and how genetically-modified crops have allowed greater yields with less harm to the environment. Students also learned how technology has impacted the equipment used in farming. We thank Mr. Richardson for sharing so many details about an often-misunderstood topic!
