Marion Elementary

Yesterday we attended Marion Elementary in Allen, TX, while we didn't have the biggest turn out, these kids were great and excited to be there! We did the same activities as the day before, but as always with new kids there are new ideas and new topics to discuss. However today we were accompanied by the giant French Lop rabbit named Max (pictured in the last photo below)! Max was a superstar and loved getting to play with our kiddos!

Thank you to all of the kids who attended Marion's Ag After School, as well as our Ag After School volunteers!

Why ag?

"My grandfather used to say that once in your life you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, and a preacher, but everyday, three times a day you need a farmer". -Brenda Schoepp

Everyday our society widens the gap between the consumer and producer, and all too often this gap is used to instill fear about our nation's food source. Agriculture isn't only about farming crops. Agriculture is the basis of everything, everyday. Modern agriculturalist not only make and grow our food, grow the fibers for our clothing, and manufacture products for the ease of society, they are also top of the line scientists and educators who are helping to change the world as we know it.
