Ag Education Week: Get Involved
The agriculture industry in Kentucky is a community. We are thrilled you’re looking for ways to get involved with Ag Education Week! Read about the initiatives below and choose how you get involved with the next generation of agriculturalists.
The Real Ag Experience
The Real Ag Experience allows students to experience and learn from people in the agriculture industry through farm/agribusiness tours. Thanks to the support of our agriculture industry, we can offer 300 tour locations across the state, but we can still use more locations! Our goal is to have at least 3 locations in every county. Find ag tour locations on The Real Ag Experience Map.

BRING AG TO THE CLASSROOM
Volunteers across Kentucky are stepping into classrooms as guest speakers and teachers to Bring Ag to the Classroom for students. With more than 150 volunteers, this initiative is making an impact, but is in need of more volunteers to cover classrooms across the state!
