Ag In The Classroom


About Ag In The Classroom

The Ag in the Classroom program helps students understand the importance of agriculture in their daily lives as well as to Iowa's economy. Each county has an Ag in the Classroom coordinator, who provides schools in their county with materials, lesson plans and information on agriculture.

For more information on this program, please contact your  local county Farm Bureau office.
