🌾📚 Agriculture in the Classroom is Off to a Great Start in Jefferson County!🚜🐄

Throughout September, Miss Hailey brought Agriculture in the Classroom lessons to students across Jefferson County, helping more than 450 students discover the important role agriculture plays in their everyday lives!

From preschoolers learning about farm animals and the products they provide, to elementary students exploring farm safety, Iowa-grown products, and the origins of everyday items, students engaged in hands-on activities that connected classroom learning to agriculture.

A special thank you to SEIDA, Community Child Care Center, Maharishi School Iowa, Pekin Schools, Fairfield Community School District, and the Pekin Homeschool Group for welcoming Agriculture in the Classroom into your classrooms!🌱💚

During the month of September, Jefferson County Farm Bureau partnered with the ISU Extension and Outreach: Jefferson County to bring agriculture education directly to local fifth-grade students! Together, the pollination lesson was presented to seven fifth-grade classes at Fairfield Middle School and Pekin Elementary School, reaching approximately 140 students.

Students learned about the important role pollinators play in helping plants grow and produce food. The lesson began with a video introducing pollinators and their connection to agriculture, followed by a hands-on LEGO activity where students built models of plants and pollinators to demonstrate the pollination process.🌻

🌱Jefferson County Attends Summer Policy Conference

Jefferson County Farm Bureau was proud to have Ryan Metz represent our county as voting delegate at the 2026 Iowa Farm Bureau Federation Summer Policy Conference held September 9-10 in West Des Moines.

Ryan joined delegates from across Iowa to review, discuss, and approve policy resolutions that will guide Iowa Farm Bureau's advocacy efforts in the coming year. These policies are developed through a grassroots process that begins with Farm Bureau members identifying issues important to agriculture and rural Iowa.

From member feedback collected through the annual Opinionnaire to county policy meetings and ultimately the Summer Policy Conference, Farm Bureau policy is built from the ground up by members, for members.

Thank you, Ryan, for representing Jefferson County and helping ensure local voices are heard as Iowa Farm Bureau works to advance policies that support farmers, rural communities, and the future of agriculture.
