Less than 2% of the population in the United States is made up of farm and ranch families according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.  Despite millions of dollars invested by farm organization less than 25% of U.S. adults have a high degree of trust in information they get about food production.

In a collaborative effort with Grant County Schools, Grant County High School FFA, Grant County Soil Conservation, Grant County Farm Bureau Federation, Grant County Family Resource Officers and Grant County Cooperative Extension put together Ag Grow Crazy day for all the 2^nd graders in Grant County Schools.

 During the event day agriculture program, the University of Kentucky's Grant County Cooperative Extension Service staff had the opportunity to teach 455 Grant County School children and their teachers and chaperones about dairy and the importance of knowing where their food comes from.   Several learning stations were established where participants were shown how to grow an apple pie.   Snacking suggestions and sources of fruit were discussed in the lessons. Consuming healthy fruit and vegetables are helpful in providing a balanced diet.  Post evaluations were sent to follow up to see if the children have increased their consumption of fruit products or at least consuming daily fruit intake each day.
