Add a close-to-home perspective to your curricula with expanded programs and activities inspired by dairy farmers for students from grades 2 through 12.

Science on the Farm introduces students in grades 6-8 to the role GPS, drones, and bioscience play in supporting the health of humans, animals, and the environment.

Farming for the Future engages grades 9-12 students in critical thinking as they research, debate, and brainstorm how farmers feed the world in ways that support economic, environmental, and nutritional needs.
