🌽🚜 AgVentures Day in Lafayette County! 🐄🌱

We loved welcoming 4th graders from across Lafayette County to our office for an exciting day of hands-on learning about agriculture! Students explored interactive booths covering corn, forestry, dairy, peanuts, cotton, watermelon, poultry, and ag literacy—getting a closer look at the crops and industries that help feed and fuel our communities.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success and to the students for their curiosity and enthusiasm about agriculture! 🌾👏
