About this episode

This episode discusses the Yuill School of Agriculture, a new high school in southeast Alberta focused on agriculture education.

On this episode of the Rural Roots Canada podcast, powered by Kubota Canada, we focus on a new kind of high school taking shape in southeast Alberta, one built entirely around agriculture. Just outside Medicine Hat, the Yuill School of Agriculture aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry needs. In this episode, RRC reporter Olivia Taylor sits down with Nichole Neubauer, the driving force behind the project, to explore how this idea came together and what it could mean for the future of education and the future of Canadian agriculture.
