Commodity Prices

"Commodity Prices" is a great app to teach your students about Ag Business.  It will help you track the market and see how prices rise and fall.  You could even do a project where you have students track something like corn prices for a whole semester.

How it works:  It has a simple and clean interface that lets you go in and select many things that are in todays market.  When you select something say the price of hogs, it will take you in and show you all the information about the recent rise and fall of the hog market.  It will even give you videos to watch and news articles to read.

TWRA Native Mobile

"TWRA Native Mobile App"  This app would be great in the agriculture classroom because you have the ability to teach kids things like hunters saftey and boaters safety.  It gives a broad view of many things that the TWRA deals with.

How it works: This app lets you see all guidelines from hunting/trapping, waterfowl, fishing, and boating.  It keeps you up to date on current news from the TWRA.  It also will let you renew any of your TWRA licenses which is relevent because hunters saftey exams can be given to students in a high school classroom and this is a simple and easy way for them to renew them.
