The Mercer County Extension Office teamed up with Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill to enhance and expand their annual Harvest Fest event. The Mercer County Agriculture Advisory Council continuously identifies the need to educate the non farm public and youth about agriculture. Staff and agents from the Mercer County office took agriculture displays and games for festival attendees to play and learn more about agriculture. Games focused on various segments of the agriculture industry. In addition, agents recruited volunteers to help assist with the event. Festival attendees were able to increase their knowledge of agriculture, where their food comes from, and programs available through the Cooperative Extension Service.
