The Ag Department will be selling poinsettias again this year on Thursday, Dec. 5, and Friday, Dec. 6, in the Kennedy Center on the Beatrice Campus.
Three classes are involved in the sale this year.
The Greenhouse Management class grew the poinsettias throughout the quarter, the Fundamentals of Ag Marketing classes developed marketing plans to sell the poinsettias, and the Ag Sales classes are going to be selling the plants.
The poinsettias are being sold in two booths, with differences between the two, including pricing, being chosen based on the Fundamentals of Ag Marketing classes’ marketing plans.
Ag Instructor Kenni D. Woerner stated, “This is all around a great learning experience for the students, allowing them to go through the production of the plant, to see on the retail side what is truly effective, and to have face to face communication skills with their clientele.”
