MDA Visits Stevensville High School Promoting Montana Ag
Stevensville, Mont. – In partnership with the Montana World Affairs Council, Montana Department of Agriculture Deputy Director, Zach Coccoli, visited Stevensville High School on Thursday to speak with students about Montana agriculture and career opportunities in the agricultural industry.
The Montana World Affairs Council is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering global understanding and awareness in Montana’s communities and classrooms. The Montana Council was established in the year 2000, by Ambassador Mark Johnson, (retired), a fourth generation Montanan from Great Falls, with the goal to provide Montanans with greater opportunities for understanding global affairs and the world around us.
MDA Deputy Director, Zach Coccoli, speaks with an ag class at Stevensville High School Thursday.
“It is critical that the future minds of Montana understand the impact and opportunities associated with Montana agriculture and the variety of high-quality products our farmers and ranchers supply to the world,” said Coccoli. “It was a pleasure to meet and speak with the students at Stevensville High School. There are so many exciting career paths and technological advances on the horizon that will shape the future of food production in our country and the state’s future depends on the work these kids will do one day.”
While in the Bitterroot Valley, Coccoli also spoke at the Montana World Affairs Council Luncheon at the Stock Farm Club covering the state of Montana agriculture, recent political developments, and Montana’s contribution to international trade.
