Success Story2022 Ag in the Classroom



2022 Ag in the Classroom

Author: Evan Tate

Planning Unit: Hancock County CES

Major Program: Community Vitality and Leadership - ANR

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Agricultural Education material is hard for county school systems to afford. Each year budgets get tighter and don’t allow for such specific subject matter to be utilized in classrooms.

The Hancock County Cooperative Extension Service partnered with the Hancock County Farm Bureau, Teach Kentucky Ag and the Hancock County Public School System in install an agricultural based curriculum that meets all of Kentucky’s STEM education requirements. Teachers receive at no cost the materials for lessons and activities for a range of ages and then it gets replenished in subsequent years lessening the financial burden on the school system and the teachers themselves all the while educating students on the true source of food and the efforts involved in producing it. 

Currently every middle school teacher in Hancock County has access to the material and are incorporating those activities into their daily lessons. Additionally, Extension Agents came to the school and demonstrated uses of the materials in an hands on program.
