Kids Learn About Agriculture
In September, school classes and families can visit Agriland in the Pride of Kansas Building at the Kansas State Fair. Agriland teaches students, educators and parents about the diversity of Kansas agriculture. Livestock, grains, and the non-food products made from them, are among the subjects taught by Agriland. Although you can’t visit Agriland year-round, you can visit Agriland sponsors and their educational programs. You can learn more about agriculture by contacting the Kansas Department of Agriculture or:
