The new Agriculture program at Lima Senior was unveiled last fall. With their first planting season fast approaching, they need their equipment operational. This began the idea to partner with the Ag Industrial Technology Program at Tri Star. Tractors and drills from the Lima Senior Spartan Farm will be handed off to Tri Star students for preparation, giving each group hands-on experience of business transactions in the ag world.

Two years ago, Lima City Schools started working with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections to receive some land that was outside the Oakwood Correctional Facility. Now that land is part of the new Spartan Farm that will be used by Lima Senior's agricultural education program. The site officially opened with a ceremony put on by the school on Tuesday.
