Ag Education

Volunteers Needed for Project R.E.D.

Farm Bureau Volunteers will once again have the opportunity to take the story of Michigan’s food and fiber industry to third-grade students by participating in Project R.E.D. (Rural Education Day) at the state annual meeting in Grand Rapids.

During the event, students will be exposed to a variety of agricultural experiences which will educate them about the total farm experience. For some of the students, it will be the first time they will get an “up close” view of agriculture.

Project R.E.D. (Rural Education Day) will take place on Thursday, December 4 during a morning and an afternoon session.  The morning session will run 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. and the afternoon from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

More than 100 volunteers are needed to reach approximately 1,200 students who will participate.  An orientation for volunteers will be held on Wednesday, December 3.
