Do you know a teacher who is bringing agriculture into non-agriculture classes? Are they finding creative ways to connect students to the world of farming, food, and sustainability—even in subjects where you wouldn’t expect it?
This kind of innovation helps students see how agriculture touches every part of life, from science and economics to art and technology. It’s educators like this who make learning relevant and exciting! The winning teacher gets an all-expense paid trip to the 2026 National Ag in the Classroom Conference in Providence, Rhode Island June 23-26. Applications are now open!
