Ag in the Classroom




Since our potatoes were on the small side this year, Abigail went out in the field and picked out a small potato for everyone in her class and we went in and did a fun presentation for the kindergarten. Several years ago, the Farm Bureau came to our farm and filmed a very nicely done video of Wyatt and our family because he won an award so Wyatt took parts of that and linked it together with my Edu'tater' video and we showed that to the class. Then all the children washed their little potato and I went and baked them in the microwave. They put butter and salt on them and had it for their snack. It was a lot of fun and the teacher wants to "rent" the video every year from us so I think we'll just make her a copy. It's always a lot of fun to go into the schools and teach about agriculture. Abigail really enjoyed doing this fun activity!
