We would like to thank all the donors who have already contributed to our Ag in the Classroom fundraising campaign!
In October, 57 teachers from 13 school districts will receive a total of 154 ag-related books. This fall, we will visit 50 different classrooms with our Pumpkin Patch Pie program. The presentation includes the pumpkin life cycle as well as a pumpkin treat at the end of the program.
If you would like to partner with us to educate students in our local schools about the importance of agriculture, please click here.
