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.
