Help to bring the FARM Science Lab to a school near you!

This educational trailer, set to debut in 2017, will house lab equipment and interactive technology to teach students agricultural-based lessons for all grade levels. One classroom at a time, a dedicated staff person will teach science, engineering, technology and math (STEM) lessons that meet state educational standards.

Students will report lab results via interactive iPads for further use by their classroom teachers.

The Michigan Farm Bureau State Promotion and Education Committee cannot accomplish this goal alone. Sponsorship opportunities are available at the individual, county Farm Bureau and corporate levels.

County Farm Bureau sponsorship of $7,500 during a two-year period will be recognized on the outside of the FARM Science Lab trailer. Any individual donating $2,500 or more for a two-year period will be displayed on a placard inside the FARM Science Lab trailer.

All donations can be made to the Michigan Foundation for Agriculture and mailed to 7373 W. Saginaw Hwy. Lansing, MI, 48909. Please indicate this is a donation for the FARM Science Lab. The Michigan Foundation for Agriculture is a 501 c3 charitable organization.

Donations are tax deductible.

If you have any questions, please contact Michigan Foundation for Agriculture Director Deb Schmucker at 517-679-5440.
