Students from Future Farmers of America chapters across Delaware recently participated in educational tours at Harrington Raceway, exploring the world of harness racing as part of efforts to showcase the diverse opportunities within the state’s agricultural sector.
The behind-the-scenes visits were organized to give dozens of FFA members exposure to various facets of Delaware’s farming and agricultural community. Mark Short, who serves as Executive Administrator for the Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund, led the student groups through the facility.
During their time at the raceway, the young visitors received instruction on appropriate horse care practices and attended educational presentations about the industry.
