The Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation (MAITC) is always grateful for the opportunity to connect with dedicated partners like Farmamerica - The Minnesota Agricultural Interpretive Center. As a cornerstone for agricultural heritage and education in Minnesota, Farmamerica plays a vital role in sharing our AgMags and classroom materials with students. These resources are key to helping youth discover the rich history and bright future of our state’s largest industry.

It was a pleasure for Ann Marie and Sue with Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom to catch up with the Farmamerica team recently. MAITC is proud to work alongside such a passionate organization to ensure that engaging, hands-on agricultural literacy reaches as many students as possible!
