Courtesy/Oklahoma National Guard Maj. Doug Christerson, formerly of Anderson, and Sgt. 1st Class Ricky Owens (right), of Yukon, Okla., peel carrots during a recent vegetable-canning class. Both men are deploying to Afghanistan this year to teach farmers how to increase food production.

Farm background helps former Anderson resident in Afghan deployment

“We are getting a good base and thinking outside the box to come up with things that (the farmers) can understand and use,” Christerson said. “They still use oxen to plow with like our grandparents did in the 1920s and 1930s, so we are going back to that type of era.”

Basic training

The 145th Agricultural Development Team recently finished 10 days of training exercises at Oklahoma State University that included learning how to can vegetables.
