Ag Literacy Festivals are held across the state and engage students in second through fifth grade. The events engage youth in hands-on activities designed to increase their knowledge of agricultural production and where their food comes from. Through these experiences, students gain a better understanding of agriculture’s impact on Nebraska and become informed consumers who can make thoughtful decisions about agricultural issues. Since the program’s creation, 90,664 elementary students have participated in Ag Literacy Festivals. Curriculum goals include helping students recognize products containing corn and soybeans, understand how corn and soybeans are used for human consumption, animal feed and energy, and learn about crop life cycles and production processes. Students also explore the role of technology in helping farmers feed the world.
