Greene County Farm Bureau recently hosted its 28th Annual Ag Day with local fourth graders.
On September 13th, 111 fourth graders went through ten agriculture-related stations on Connor and Cale Juergensen’s family farm near the Churdan area. The stations included drones, pigs, biofuels, Ag in the Classroom, farm safety, sheep, conservation and cover crops, corn, cow/calves and ag finances. All of the stations were led by several volunteers from ag organizations and businesses.
The Greene County Pork Producers grilled pork burgers for lunch, along with chips, cookies and bottled water, which was sponsored by Farm Credit Services of America. Home State Bank provided apples for a snack. Each student received a free commemorative t-shirt, which Greene County Farm Bureau and Farm Credit Services of America sponsored.
