We had our annual Farm Field Day in our area on Friday. We live in Central Utah, Juab County, and each year our county Farm Bureau invites the 4th grade students to come onto a farm and learn. We had about 150 students and they were able to go to a dairy, and then come to a farm where we had stations.

We had these stations: Equipment (a John Deere dealer came with different equipment), Sheep (we had a producer come with a couple of lambs), Fruit (we had a producer come with apples for them to learn and taste), Safety (our State Farm Bureau Safety guy came to talk about 4 wheeler safety), Grains and Seeds (our Extension Agent came and talked about different grains, and then we had whole wheat bread for them to eat), and a Wheat Craft (where they took and put wheat with wet cotton balls in a bag to watch germinate in a couple of days).

We have our local FFA chapter send some of the members to come help. Afterwards we eat lunch with the FFA kids and all the presenters.

It always goes over well. The 4th graders seem to enjoy the field trip. I hope that they learn something while they are there! It is one of my favorite things to do with Farm Bureau.
