On Wednesday May 12th and Thursday May 13th, 2010 over 400 fourth-graders
from nine schools attended the 3rd annual Fayette County Ag Fest, held at the
Fayette County Fairgrounds.
The Ag Fest program was developed because the FCCD feels it is important to
educate the youth of Fayette County in agricultural areas. Many students have
never seen a farm animal up close, and do not realize where their food originates.
Each class spent 25 minutes at six different stations: Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle,
Sheep, Hogs, Crops and Technology. The presenters spent time talking with the
kids about their particular topic and the students had the chance to see live
animals and farm equipment.
