The Marion County Farm Bureau is sponsoring Ag Day and has invited most of Marion County’s 4th graders. It will be held at the Knoxville Armory in Knoxville Tuesday. Half of the students will be touring the Ag Day stations from 9:00 until 11:30 and then the others from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm. There are 16 classrooms and 350 students involved.

They will have nine aspects of agriculture represented, some of which are baby farm animals, farm equipment, Plants to Food, Pork, Karen Adams with Ag in the Classroom, Corn to Ethanol trailer, and more.

The goal is to make agriculture relevant in the lives of students. It is core knowledge to know how food gets into the stores and onto your plate.
