Bacon County hosts 10th annual Ag Day.BACON CO., GA (WTOC) -
Several students at Bacon
County High School got the chance to show youngsters the importance of
agriculture.
Members of the FFA
chapter taught fifth-graders as part of the county's annual Ag Day.
Students heard from
adults on the importance of agriculture to the local economy and the variety of
jobs available. Organizers said the lessons stay with students longer than if
they just taught from a book.
"In FFA, we think it's more important to be
able to interact with the subject and pick it
up and look at it up close and see what it s about," said Darrell
Boatright, an FFA adviser.
This
marks the school's 10th year of Ag Day.
