For the last seven or eight years, the Benton County Farm Bureau Women's Committee has sponsored an elementary school program in May titled "Farm Expo". With the help of volunteers from Arkansas Farm Bureau and the Arkansas Beef Council, we're able to provide hands-on fun with information about Arkansas agriculture and how farmers provide safe food while protecting the environment.
Friday morning we shared Farm Expo with Bonnie Grimes Elementary third graders.
Students learned about...
cotton,
food safety,
poultry,
water,
chicks,
soil,
rice,
dairy,
and beef.I'm sure the students had as much fun as the volunteers!
