     “No Soil Required – The Future of Growing our Food” was the name of a class held Wednesday, May 17 at the Citizen State Bank Youth Development Center in Monticello.

     Youngsters, both members and non-members of 4-H, got a firsthand look at a cutting edge way to grow food and other plants – without soil.

     They got the chance to explore space agriculture, and build their own hydroponic garden buckets.
