Investing in the Future of Agriculture: AGPROfessionals Supports Valley Agriculture Education Foundation
At AGPROfessionals, we believe that the future of agriculture depends on the investment we make in our youth today. That’s why we proudly supported the Valley Agriculture Education Foundation’s Cultivating Legacy fundraiser—an inspiring event aimed at revitalizing the agricultural education program in the Valley School District in Southern Idaho.
Why We Support Agricultural Education
Agriculture isn’t just a career — it's a way of life that sustains our communities, fuels local economies, and connects generations. With deep roots in livestock production, farm development, and ag real estate, AGPROfessionals understands the importance of building a strong and knowledgeable ag workforce for tomorrow.
By supporting the Valley Agriculture Education Foundation, we’re helping empower the next generation of ag leaders through hands-on learning, career readiness, and community connection. When students have access to quality agricultural education, they gain skills that not only benefit them individually but also contribute to the long-term vitality of rural communities like those in the Magic Valley.
The Mission Behind the Valley Ag Education Foundation
The Valley Ag Education Foundation was formed by a dedicated group of community members, including parents and local leaders, who recognized the importance of agricultural education and were determined to see it reinstated within the Valley School District. Motivated by a shared passion for providing students with hands-on, relevant learning opportunities, the group came together to write and secure a grant to support the return of the program. Understanding that the grant alone wouldn’t cover all the costs, they took the additional step of becoming a nonprofit organization to help bridge the financial gap between the awarded funds and the program’s full needs. Through their continued efforts, the Foundation is ensuring that agriculture remains a vibrant and sustainable part of the Valley School District’s educational offerings
Attending the Cultivating Legacy Fundraiser
Our team recently had the honor of attending the Cultivating Legacy fundraiser hosted by the Valley Agriculture Education Foundation. AGPROfessionals purchased a table at the event to show our full support for this important cause. The fundraiser was more than a night of giving—it was a celebration of the local ag community’s commitment to nurturing students’ passion for farming, ranching, ag mechanics, food science, and more.
Thanks to a $3.3 million grant, the Valley School District is working hard to restart its ag program, which had been on hiatus for over 30 years. While the grant was an important first step, continued ongoing community support is critical. Events like Cultivating Legacy help raise the funds and awareness needed to bring modern facilities, experienced educators, and real-world experiences to students eager to explore careers in agriculture.
Making a Local Impact
By contributing to this initiative, AGPROfessionals joins others across the region in strengthening workforce development, boosting local businesses, and keeping the next generation rooted in agriculture. When students see a future for themselves in their own backyard, they’re more likely to stay, work, and invest in their communities, ensuring agriculture thrives in the Magic Valley for years to come.
