Ag in the Classroom is gearing up for a new year of hands-on agricultural education, and community support is needed to keep their classrooms stocked. Organizers are collecting supplies such as plastic utensils, paper plates, 5-ounce cups, baby wipes, tape, toothpicks, various sizes of freezer and sandwich bags, and yarn in bright colors. These items will help local students engage with agriculture through interactive lessons and activities. Donations can be dropped off at the Henry County Farm Bureau Office at 128 N. Prospect Street in Cambridge, or call 309-937-2411 for more information. Supporters say every contribution brings vital farm and food knowledge directly to area youth.
