More than four years after starting the process of our Lamp Public Relations & Marketing team writing the Strategic Plan for The Great American Wheat Harvest documentary film, we see the final phase come into fruition. Now, with the extra film footage, we are able to help educate students in kindergarten through 12th grade about the process of growing and harvesting wheat and other grains in America is the theme of a new series of lessons called ‘Harvesting: Crops & Careers’.
Developed by the National Agriculture in the Classroom, US Custom Harvesters, Inc, New Holland Agriculture and Conjostudios, LLC, the seven lessons introduce students to new technologies and varied careers involved in producing and harvesting grain crops. Please encourage your teachers to check out the lessons at www.agclassroom.org/teacher/themes.htm and continue the process of educating the next generation about the importance of agriculture in their daily lives.
