Promotion & Education

The goal of the Promotion and Education program is to educate Michigan consumers about agriculture through working with children and schools and coordinating public outreach programs to promote and educate about agriculture. In addition, the Promotion and Education program strives to educate farmers on issues impacting agriculture.

The second grade class at the Chassell School again hatched chicks successfully.  Mrs. Heitala reported that the students anxiously await the project each year.  All of the elementary watches and waits for the hatching to begin, streaming through the classroom to check things out. A second incubator is available for other schools in the Copper Country Farm Bureau area.
