Youngsters love bugs. And, growing things. And, usually, playing in the dirt.
They can do all three and much more during the Third annual Agronomy Youth Field Day on Wednesday, August 8 in Curtis.
Nebraska Extension and the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture are organizing the event together.
“We have had a great turnout by youth the past two year, and lots of fun with hands-on learning activities,” said Brad Ramsdale, Ph.D., NCTA agronomy professor.
