Agricultural Learning Center

At a time when less than 2% of Americans are actively involved in farming, each generation is removed farther from agriculture. Today's children will become tomorrow's agriculturalists, doctors, lawyers, business owners, teachers and more. By impressing upon them the significance of agriculture, we can help to ensure the livelihood of our country for generations to come. Look around you - the clothes you're wearing, the food you're eating, the car you drive, even your television are all made with plant and animal products or by-products - made possible by agriculture. With the removal of people from farming, also removed is the knowledge of food and fiber sources for many of our children. The programs available by the Agricultural Learning Center will strive to educate youth in the Four States area.
