Three 4^th grade classes from Alta Brown Elementary School in Finney County took a tour of the farm of County Board President Russell Komlofske this morning (Wed. October 1^st). The 70 students and 6 adults were at the farm for about 3 hours and learned about wheat, corn and soybeans, looked at farm equipment and learned the difference between dryland and irrigated farming. Other Finney County board members that help with the tour were Jay Warren, and Carol and Mike Deaver.

Thanks to the grant received from KFB, Johnson County Farm Bureau once again partnered with the Spring Hill FFA Chapter for their annual Pumpkin Painting and Ag Activities event.  The FFA students helped kids ages 3-5 paint pumpkins, hit a piñata, play games and pet some small farm animals.  Johnson County Farm Bureau read the Milk Comes from a Cow book and showed the kids how to make butter from heavy whipping cream.  The children then ate the butter they made with pretzels.
 

Barton County presented a program called “Circles of Earth Bracelets” to all the 3^rd graders in Great Bend. The lessons objective was to help the students keep our planet healthy by saving the land, water, air and animals. The outcome was that everything is related to everything else. Each student made a beaded bracelet. Each bead represented a different object from the earth. We also served M&M’s for water( blue raspberry Kool-Aid) for snack.
