Program areas at Highlands County Farm Bureau
We support agriculture education in our local schools. A meeting was held to discuss the needs for each agriculture program. We disseminated the information to our members and other agricultural organizations. Agriculture contiues to be a rapidly growing and evolving industry. We continue to support our local ag teachers who help foster an appreciation of agriculture and bring awareness of the various scientific and technical careers in agriculture.
Highlands County Farm Bureau participated in the AgVenture program held in the fall. This 3 day event brings 4th grade students from the local communities to gain an understanding and appreciation for agriculture through hands-on experiences. Students rotate through 14 stations where they learn about botany, water conservation, and forestry, just to name a few topics. Students learn about how food goes from the farm to their table.
Highlands County Farm Bureau held its annual Speech Contest. Students are asked to research the topic and present their speech in front of industry professionals. These programs help students make connections between their daily life and agriculture.
