Agriculture lessons planted in classrooms with Missouri bill

A Missouri Senate bill aims to expand agriculture education in elementary schools statewide. The plan would connect students with farming, animals, and various agricultural jobs. Schools could partner with commodity groups and nonprofits to provide hands-on learning opportunities. The bill aims to reach students in both farm communities and cities to showcase the diverse career opportunities in agriculture. If passed, the legislation would replace the current pilot program with a statewide elementary program starting in the next school year.
