The Colors of Agriculture Art Contest celebrates the creativity of Maryland students by showcasing how agriculture is in our daily lives. Each month, a winning piece of student artwork is featured each month alongside highlights of agriculture in action and key ag events happening across Maryland. The March winner is Clifton, a 10th grader from Damascus, Maryland. Clifton’s artwork highlights a greenhouse alongside rows of vegetables, capturing the energy and preparation that comes with the changing seasons.
LET’S GRO PD:
FROM HAY TO HORSES!
Farms and animals go hand in hand…but what goes into raising and caring for them? Come get a behind the scenes tour of two local farms: a hay and grain farm & a horse farm. Then learn how to incorporate the history, economics, careers, and animal care of agriculture into your work with students. Hear from engaging guest speakers and leave with valuable resources to use in your classroom!
Focus on Elementary and Middle School both formal and non formal educators! (Click the image for more information)
