Ag in the Classroom is an annual 3-day conference where teachers and education professionals can learn about agriculture, and be provided with tools, tricks, and curriculum which will enable them to bring agriculture into their classrooms. When we help our teachers introduce the next generation to the importance of agriculture, we all will benefit for generations to come.
2022's Ag in the Classroom Conference will be held in Ventura.
