Adopt A Farmer

This program is designed to help middle-school students better understand how agriculture works. Each participating school adopts one farm for the entire year. The farmer visits the classroom once a quarter to share information about life and work on the farm. These blogs are a special Web-based link shared between the students and the farmer that allows the students to correspond directly with the farmer throughout the academic year. During the academic year the class takes a field trip to the farm to experience it first hand.
