Agriculture in the Classroom is a partnership between University of Illinois Extension in the Ford-Iroquois Unit and Ford-Iroquois Farm Bureau. Classroom presentations, printed materials, and other resource materials are available free of charge. The message presented to youth and adults is that agriculture is extremely important in our everyday lives. This program allows educators to teach about agriculture without adding anything "extra" to their curriculum. For more information what this program can offer you and your school contact Aimee Chandler at 815-268-4051 or alchandl@illinois.edu.
