Our Goal

 
 

Serving Counties: Cerro Gordo, Emmet, Floyd, Franklin, Hancock, Hardin, Kossuth, Webster, Winnebago, Worth and Wright

 

It is our goal to help educators teach students about Iowa agriculture and its importance to our economy and society. We believe it is important for Iowa students to know that their food comes from the farm, not from the grocery store. We want students to understand that farmers work hard to protect our environment and natural resources, and that they responsibly care for their livestock.

Ready to bring ag to your classroom?

At the request of any administrator or teacher in our service territory, an Ag in the Classroom educator will come to your school and present lessons aligned with state standards in preschool through 8th-grade classrooms. And thanks to local sponsors, grants, and donations, our services are available at no cost to schools in Cerro Gordo, Emmet, Franklin, Hancock, Hardin, Kossuth, Webster, Winnebago, Worth and Wright counties.
