Campaign underway to drive ag across Georgia

Posted on November 7, 2019 12:00 AM

The Georgia Foundation for Agriculture, in partnership with Georgia Farm Bureau, is working to make members’ vision of having a Mobile Ag Classroom a reality. This innovative, technology-based mobile classroom will drive agriculture across Georgia while educating young people about the importance of Georgia agriculture.

The mobile unit is under contract now in the design/building stage and is scheduled to be unveiled at the 2020 GFB Convention.

While GFB is excited to design and launch the mobile classroom, it needs the support of Georgia’s agriculture community to fund the classroom’s ongoing operation. The goal is to keep the truck running across Georgia to reach elementary age children in their own communities.

If you  want to see the Mobile Ag Classroom travel across Georgia, consider supporting the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture.  Together we can teach young people about Georgia agriculture.
