Nevada Ag Wagon: We’re Growing Places

By Brittney Money | NFB Director of Communications

The Nevada Farm Bureau is excited to announce the renovated Nevada Ag Wagon! The future of Ag education in the state of Nevada. Previously known as the World of Corn has undergone a makeover and now features agriculture from around the state and fun VR headsets to learn more about ag industry.

As the new year kicked off, the Nevada Farm Bureau set out to renovate the previously known World of Corn trailer and that started with a fun little competition for FFA students throughout the state to rename the trailer. Several strong name contenders were submitted, but the winning name was submitted by Oasis FFA. Nevada Farm Bureau can’t thank Oasis FFA enough for coming up with such a catchy name, The Nevada Ag Wagon “We’re Growing Places”.

With a new name for the trailer picked and the goal of incorporating agriculture found throughout the state in motion the trailer got a fresh new outside design and inside makeover as well.

The goal of the whole project is to promote Nevada agriculture not only through Ag in the Classroom events, but also at local county fairs and other events throughout the state. Our mission is to bridge the gap between agriculture and the community.

Nevada Farm Bureau hopes to do this with are new Director of Agriculture Education, Woody Worthington. He will focus on building a strong relationship with Ag in the Classroom volunteers and educators throughout the state. Woody has been a part of the Douglas-Carson Farm Bureau for the past 15 years and coordinated the Ag in the Classroom program for Douglas County and Carson City schools. Creating a variety of stations for the students to learn from, the success of Ag in the Classroom was evident by the increase in 4-H and FFA members and the excitement from the community members.

Please feel free to reach out the Woody Worthington the Director of Agriculture Education with any questions at, woody@nvfb.org. You can also find the full list of where the Nevada ag Wagon will be featured on the Nevada Farm Bureau website.

We hope to grow the Ag in the Classroom program with more events in local schools. As a reminder we have many great resources available for anybody interested in getting an Ag in the Classroom event started in their community.

Keep a look out for the Nevada Ag Wagon coming to a community event near you.
