Back to school means new school supplies, and just about all of them can be traced back to the farm!
Crayons = soybeans
Paper = trees
Sports equipment = leather
Start a discussion with your students on where they think their school supplies came from!

What is soil?
👉🏻Soil is the loose upper layer of the Earth’s surface where plants grow. Soil is so important! Without healthy soil we would not be able to grow the plants we need for food, fiber, and shelter.

Teaching our students about agriculture is still important today. It allows for less misconceptions around food and the industry.
