USA - WISCONSIN: Southwest Tech Launches Indoor Farming Partnerships

Southwest Wisconsin Technical College is launching a new initiative that places hydroponic indoor farms in 22 K–12 school districts across its five-county region. The project officially kicked off during an event Aug. 13 on Southwest Tech’s campus.
