Jackson County Environmental Field Day - Kentucky Farm Bureau

Jackson County Environmental Field Day

 

Jackson County 4th graders were recently treated to a dose of educational fun at an Environmental Field Day sponsored by the Jackson County Conservation District.  Representatives from Jackson County Farm Bureau, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, The Kentucky Division of Foresty, local electric co-op Jackson Energy, and the Water District worked together to teach at the event.

Jackson County Farm Bureau presented an ATV Safety program to more than 200 fourth graders who attended the event. The students learned what Kentucky law says about riding ATV’s. They were given information on how to ride safely and the types of safety equipment they should be wearing.

KFB President Eddie Melton | Advocacy Season Can Be as Important as Planting Season

As a farmer, there is likely no time of the year that is more exciting, and holds more hope, than planting season. Being weeks away from that time doesn’t diminish the anxiousness we have or the optimism we take with us in all we do on the farm.
