A r FB HOSTS FIELD DAY FOR TEACHERS

Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation gave teachers the opportunity to see the world of agriculture with the help of Economics Arkansas.

Teachers whom are not directly connected to agriculture came from across the state for the chance to be handson on in the field. The group experienced different ways to teach about agriculture careers and discovered ways to integrate an agricultural economics lesson into their lesson plans. They also received information about agriculture commodities within the state and a set of classroom materials to help them teach about general agriculture.

During the field day, educators toured farms in Lonoke County, with visits to Keo Fish Farms to learn about the aquaculture industry and Bevis Farms to learn about row crops.
