Dallas County Agriculture in the Classroom

Dallas County Agriculture in the Classroom Agriculture in the Classroom is a national program focused on increasing agricultural literacy through K-12 education.

It is sponsored in Dallas County by Dallas County Farm Bureau. The mission of Agriculture in the Classroom is to increase agricultural literacy through K-12 education. Through creative lessons, hands-on projects, and programs that use technology, students can learn about agriculture's role in Iowa's history, where our food comes from, conservation, and how technology continues to impact agricultur

e in our state. Resources available through Dallas County Farm Bureau:
-Classroom programs. Dallas County Ag in the Classroom can bring real-world applications to your curriculum by helping to find guest speakers, or by teaching hands-on lessons that tie to Iowa Core Standards.
-FarmChat. Bring the farm to your classroom through a FarmChat program. Your students can talk to a farmer or agribusiness professional live and watch as they harvest corn, plant soybeans, feed livestock, or tour a business. The curriculum connections are endless!
-Events & outreach opportunities. Let Dallas County Ag in the Classroom have a presence at your school by inviting us to attend a teachers' meeting, STEM event, career fair, or any activity in which we can share agriculture-related information. We would be happy to introduce Ag in the Classroom, promote funding opportunities, or provide information on a specific agriculture topic or issue.
-Special projects. Dallas County Ag in the Classroom can work with your school to design field trips, grow crops, form partnerships with local agribusinesses, or design an agriculture theme-year at your school.
-Agriculture information and resources. Contact us if you are looking for resources, need a lesson for a particular topic/subject, or have a question about agriculture. We can also provide samples of corn, soybeans, and other agriculture products for your students to investigate. If you are interested in learning more about how you can incorporate agriculture into your classroom please feel free to contact us!

Iowa Hunger Summit at the World Food Prize. I was able to talk to farmers who are making a difference. I listened to two panels talk about Iowa history and small town grocery stores. Iowa State Extension is starting a new program called Cyclone Kitchen. My favorite might have been Sharon Krause talking about African refuge farmers and the In Harmony Farm program. It's either that or the conversation at lunch.
