Idaho Farm Bureau Takes Agricultural Education on the Road
The Idaho Farm Bureau has launched the Moving Ag to the Classroom (MAC) Trailer program to engage younger audiences in agriculture.
The program, which started with one trailer and two modules, has expanded to three trailers and four modules, each paired with a "Big Book" teaching children about agricultural commodities.
- Visits over 75 schools annually
- Presents to over 11,000 students
- Attends 12 county fairs and the state fair, reaching 25,000-plus children
The program has exceeded its original goal and proven to be a great retention tool for students involved in agriculture.
