Oakesdale gets Bayer grant

OAKESDALE–Oakesdale schools have been tabbed for a new $15,000 grant from the Bayer company’s “America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education” program.

The program utilizes local farmers to nominate rural public school districts for the grants to help with their science, technology, engineering and math curriculum.

Bayer’s “America’s Farmers” program has awarded more than $57 million since 2010. The program began as part of the Monsanto Company, bought by Bayer in 2018.
