Students at the Independent Child Montessori School discuss how foods like popcorn and potato chips are made during a Thursday visit from members of the local Farm Bureau. The bureau visited schools around Buchanan County for Thank a Farmer Week.
It’s national Thank a Farmer Week, and the local Farm Bureau chapter is participating by distributing books about agriculture to schools in the area.
Members visited nearly 30 daycare centers and elementary schools Thursday around Buchanan County.
It’s the third year the bureau has provided schools with a book about an agri-based topic. This year’s book was “Right This Very Minute,” which teaches children about where food comes from.
Last year, schools received copies of “Tales of the Dairy Godmother,” which focuses on dairy education.
Members also provided newsletters to go with the books, giving teachers more resources to teach students about the production process for foods like popcorn and potato chips.
