ARFB helps teachers “beef up” back-to-school season with ag education workshops

School is almost back in session, and in Arkansas, teachers are busy preparing to bring agriculture to the classroom. The Arkansas Farm Bureau (ARFB) provided us with a glimpse of a recent Ag in the Classroom workshop, part of its efforts to equip educators with the tools they need to foster the next generation of farmers.

The Arkansas Farm Bureau offers a ‘Beef in the Classroom’ grant to assist with ag education. Applications for that program open in August.
