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.
