Farm Bureau promotes agriculture education during library story time

The Natchitoches Parish Farm Bureau Federation recently participated in Family Story Time at the Natchitoches Parish Library, bringing agriculture-focused learning to local children.

Miss Natchitoches Farm Bureau Hannah Worsham was on hand to read selected agriculture-themed books as part of the bureau’s Ag Literacy program, which is designed to introduce young students to the importance of agriculture.

The Louisiana Ag in the Classroom Ag Literacy Program aims to cultivate agricultural awareness by sharing the story of farming and food production with elementary students. The program supports efforts to increase understanding of agriculture while encouraging appreciation for renewable food, fiber and fuel systems.

As part of the visit, the Natchitoches Parish Farm Bureau donated two books to the library’s children’s section.
