Farm Animals Arrive for Class

Author: Molly Jordan

Planning Unit: Bracken County CES

Major Program: Agriculture

Plan of Work: Youth Agriculture Education

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Although our county may be a rural county with over 500 farms reported to the USDA Agriculture Census, not all youth are involved in agricultural ventures. The 1st grade teachers at Taylor Elementary wanted to do some farm related lessons and approached the Bracken County 4-H with their idea. With the help of local farmers, 1st grade classrooms learn about cows, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs. The lessons revolved around the importance of each farm animal, fun facts about each species, and to top it all off there was a REAL farm animal visitor that accompanied each lesson. Through these lessons, the youth were brought face to face with where their food comes from and now have a better understanding of the importance of farms and farmers.
