Message from the Chair

"Agriculture in the Classroom and its mandate allows the agriculture message to be delivered to students

and teachers in an accurate, balanced and current manner. It is great to provide a hands on approach to

agriculture and teach people with no connection to the farm where their food and agriculture based

products come from."
