Levy County Farm Bureau

Peanuts are the largest commodity grown in Levy County. We showcased this commodity by participating in the 'Spread the Love' peanut butter food drive. These type of events helps agriculture by highlighting peanuts, one of our major commodities, and improving community relations.

Levy County Farm Bureau hosted a speech contest where students were asked to research an agriculture related topic. Students were given the opportunity to give their speech to industry professionals. This contest helps students work on many skills necessary to excel in school and in the workplace. The contest gives students an opportunity to learn about issues and technological advances in agriculture.

Each year a different sector of agriculture or commodity is highlighted during Ag Literacy Day. Programs like these enable students to gain an appreciation for agriculture and its impact in our daily lives. This year the spotlight book was Moovers, Shakers, and Milk Makers which highlighted the dairy industry.
