Agriculture in the Classroom
The Woodford County Farm Bureau Agriculture in the Classroom Program is conducted by volunteers annually.  

You can get involved by being a local classroom presenter or adopting a Chicago Area Classroom to provide urban students with a glimpse of where their food and fiber comes from.  If you are interested in being a presenter email woodfordcfb@gmail.com.  If you are interested in adopting a classroom, visit www.agintheclassroom.org
