| Ag-Venture is a “hands-on” learning experience designed to teach 3rd grade students in Hillsborough County, Florida about the importance of agriculture and to help them develop an understanding and appreciation of where their food comes from. |
 As the students arrive at the field trip, they are divided into groups and given a bright colored “cowboy” hat or bandana. The hats and bandanas not only keep track of the different groups (each group has a different color hat) but the youngsters love them and they set the stage for an “AG” day! |
|
The Student Tours will consist of visiting 5 stations representing different aspects of agriculture where youth will participate in a variety of hands-on activities. Students may have the opportunity to visit one of our stations featuring animal agriculture such as Horses, Swine, or Dairy - and learn about the products we use from these animals. Other st  ations feature the
plant aspects of agriculture learning about plant germination, plants we
eat, and more about our local crops like citrus and strawberries.
There are always a variety of other stations teaching students about
agriculture here in Hillsborough County - from Bees to Phosphate to
Fiber - there is always something to touch, taste or feel!! |
