Partnering for Education

Our mission to educate on agricultural innovation and sustainability plays an important role in the future of agriculture—locally and globally.

Help make an impact

Partners ensure learners have an awareness, understanding, and appreciation for the innovation and technology involved in today’s production agriculture.

With more than 60 interactive exhibits and standards-based educational programs, our field trips connect learners with the process of bringing food from field to fork.

Each year it costs $750,000 to fund our field trips

Each field trip can include the following expenses:

  • Open exploration of all exhibits

  • 1-2 Education Lessons (“Dig-Ins”)

  • Demonstration Field Tours

  • Education and support staffing

  • Healthy snack

  • FREE admission pass for all students

Your partnership makes it possible for us to educate and build a stronger agricultural workforce.
