The Secretary of Agriculture, Russel C. Redding, visited our system December 8th, 2018. During this tour he and his colleagues were able to explore the floor system with the help of two of our students. They were able to ask questions not only about how the system worked but also about the variety of produce they were able to taste. To conclude the tour, Russel awarded Growing Together Aquaponics, Bob McCafferty, and the University Rock Life students with an award.
