FAIRMONTÂ â U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said he wants West Virginia to set an example for the nation when it comes to using funds from the American Rescue Plan.

Though a few politicians would like us to believe West Virginians are by and large coal miners, the Mountain State has always been an agricultural state, too. We don’t often do enough to encourage young people to explore those career opportunities.
To that end, Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Shelley Capito, R-W.Va., have announced a total of $1 million for a couple of agricultural workforce training options in the state.
One is a shared use kitchen internship and network project at West Virginia University that will strengthen workforce training at Pierpont Community and Technical College and Sprouting Farms’ Greenville Farm Kitchen by providing educational and training opportunities, internships and mentorships.
