Adair Co. Students enjoy All In for Ag Education Week

By Robin Hancock
ACMS/ACHS FFA Advisor/Agriculture Teacher

All In for Ag Education Week was a big success in Adair County! It started the week before in kindergarten at ACPC with ACHS students teaching about soils using the book The Soil in Jackie's Garden by Peggy Thomas, which is a book endorsed by the American Farm Bureau Federation.

This past week, first grade students from ACPC and fifth graders from ACES travelled to the ACHS FFA Agricultural Building to learn about farm safety such as tractor, lawn mower, ATV, sun, medical, fire, and livestock safety. The farm safety days would not have been possible without all of our community partners, the Columbia-Adair Fire Department, Adair County Ambulance Service, Wright Implement, Ag Revolution, Adair County Farm Bureau, Progressive Ag Foundation, the Adair County 4-H, and the Adair County FFA.

In addition, a new ACMS FFA officer team was elected:
  • President Colton Grant
  • Vice-President Case Grant
  • Secretary Mason Curry
  • Treasurer Myles Spoon
  • Reporter Kayden Pegg
  • Sentinel Weston Willis
  • Student Advisor Kylie Thorpe
  • FFA Chaplain John Gaskins
  • Growing Leaders Recruitment Chair Michael Hargis
The week ended with Adair County Farm Bureau President Danny Wilkinson and ACHS FFA student Hudson Hancock teaching ACHS students about the difference between beef and dairy operations in Adair County with Buddy, the cow dog.

In addition, displays were set up at ACMS and ACHS educating all students about Kentucky Agriculture and how Kentucky farmers not only provide our food, but also have a major impact on the state's economy. The Adair County FFA thanks all of our supporters for helping teach the students of Adair County about agriculture!
