Agriculture Literacy Day Program
This year’s book, titled The Cattle Tale, takes students through a day in the life of a Florida beef producer. We invite agriculture industry representatives to connect with local elementary schools to schedule a reading. This is a great way to teach students where their food comes from. Accompanying activity newspapers are also available. Registration is now live!
