The Agriculture Department fundraiser was a halfway success with an exceptional amount of fruit bought, participants said. On Feb. 4 and 5, the Agriculture Department was selling fruit from the Ag farm to raise money for various activities.

“The money will go to sending the kids to leadership conventions and field trips,” said BC professor Bill Kelly, Ag Department Chair.

The fruit was sold for $5 dollars a bag if a buyer wanted volunteer workers to pick it, and $3 dollars a bag if the buyer wanted to pick it himself or herself. “We sold a total of 90 bags altogether,” said Sally Sterns, horticulture technician.If the buyer had chosen to get a pre-picked bag, then someone from the department would hand deliver it to the buyer wherever the buyer wished.
