In Greenup County at least one or more generations is removed from the family farm. Today’s children go to the grocery store with their parents to purchase food. The connection of how the food is grown or produced is lost. This need is why Greenup County Extension Service and Farm Bureau believes it is necessary for individuals, both young and old, to understand the importance of Agriculture. Education is the key to bridging the gap between farmer and consumer.  
Greenup County Extension service and Farm Bureau have collaborated annually for more than ten years to host the Great Agriculture Adventure. The adventure is a day- long activity to educate school teachers and their students about all aspects of Agriculture. It targets all schools in Greenup County, which includes one county and two independent systems. 4th grade students and teachers rotate among different 21-25 educational stations in 12-15 minute increments.  Following the Great Agriculture Adventure each student can participate in a poster or essay contest.  
This year 325 students attended along with 28 teachers/aides and 33 adults.
