Ag Day

Eve is petting Pete the Donkey as part of our local Ag Day.  Farm Bureau sponsered a time where the students in the third through fifth grade got to come to the fairgrounds and learn about agriculture related things.  They saw speakers on animals, beef, sunflowers, wheat, and water issues just to name a few.  We were able to take the girls and help serve lunch.  This was the first Ag Day that has happened in a while and the kids and teachers had only good things to say about it.  Eve had a good time visiting with the animals, although she was a little reluctant about actually touching them.

Here is a group of students learning about all the different products that contain corn and soybeans.  They even have an assignment to take and complete with their parents at the grocery store.

Here is a three week old bucket calf.  The calf's mother died during childbirth and now the cow is being bottle fed by some 4H kids.

Eve was a little hesistant to make friends with Cookies and Cream the lamb.
