The Real Ag Experience

The Real Ag Experience connects students with agriculture in their community through two ways:
1) a tour of a county farm or agribusiness or
2) through volunteers who Bring Ag to the Classroom. Ag Tours don’t have to be complicated, just share your work, your experience, and your story in ag. To Bring Ag to the Classroom, individuals or groups volunteer to bring their experience in ag to a classroom as a guest speaker or teacher.
