 Kindergarten to 12th grade teachers from Bemidji, Solway and LaPorte schools gather together to use agriculture as a tool to help students achieve academic standards in subjects like science, math, and health. The agriculture in the classroom program wants students to become more familiar with where their food comes from. Teachers at LaPorte Public Schools started a school garden and shared how they have integrated it into the classroom curriculum. The main goal of the Ag in the classroom program is building awareness and appreciation for agriculture. We hope that the teachers can gain that experience or gain knowledge that can pass on to their students about how important agriculture is to this community and how it impacts our life every day. Stops were made at Little Timber Falls and Barry Mystic Farms as part of the three-stop tour.
