FORT WORTH, Texas (RFD NEWS) — At the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, the FFA’s Children’s Barnyard is opening doors for hands-on learning, giving visitors of all ages a closer look at agriculture and animal care.
RFD Network’s Kirbe Schnoor spoke with student volunteers who are helping lead the experience, teaching guests about where their food comes from and the role the National FFA Organization plays in developing young agricultural leaders.
The interactive barnyard offers students an opportunity to share their knowledge and help the public understand the importance of agriculture. The educational experience builds toward one of the show’s most anticipated events, the Junior Sale of Champions, which highlights youth exhibitors and their dedication to agriculture.
Watch the Junior Sale of Champions on RFD Network this Saturday, February 7, starting at 10 a.m. ET. You can also stream all of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo events live with your annual subscription to RFD+.
