Opening young minds to the miracle of agriculture.
Farm Field Days, is hosted bi-annually, by Utah State University Extension and Utah County Farm Bureau. Our mission is to open young minds to the miracle of agriculture by connecting second grade students to their food, fiber, and fuel. The goal of Farm Field Days is to increase agricultural literacy while connecting to Utah Core Standards.
By learning from various commodity groups, students will be provided with reliable and reputable sources of information that highlight various sectors within the agriculture industry, and connect with local agricultural communities, practices and producers.
