Puerto Rico's school-based agricultural educators were among 793 teachers surveyed for a study of the profession across the US South, researchers reported. [^1]

The survey reached educators in 13 Southern states along with Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. That places island teachers inside the same count as their mainland counterparts, from the same classrooms that teach farming and food to students here.

The filing names the number surveyed and the places covered, and little else about what the teachers said. For readers in Puerto Rico, the detail worth holding is that the island was counted in, not studied apart.
