Franklin County Career and Technology Center highlighted senior Macey Kiskaddon

CareerTech said Kiskaddon is a Workforce Development and CMS senior completing her Cooperative Education experience at S & J Farms LLC.

According to CareerTech, Kiskaddon helps with daily farm operations. Her work includes animal care, feeding, and cleaning in the mornings before traveling to other farms to continue the same responsibilities.

CareerTech said Kiskaddon also collects soil samples from each field, enters data into the farm’s computer system, and sends the samples out for analysis to help monitor field health.

During the spring semester, Kiskaddon has also been assisting during calving season, helping support farm operations during that time.

CareerTech said Kiskaddon’s cooperative education experience has shown dedication, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to take on responsibility.
