Grain Bin Safety Training

The Michigan Farm Bureau Science Lab made a stop at the school, giving every K–5 classroom the opportunity to experience agriculture through hands-on science. We were happy to help sponsor the event — and our team member was even luckier because she got to teach the lessons!

Our youngest students in grades K–2 got their hands a little dirty as they planted seeds and learned how a tiny seed grows and changes on its journey from seed to harvest.

The 3rd–5th graders took on a completely different question: How can a cow eat hay when we can’t? They learned about cattle, their unique digestive systems, and how cows are able to turn something humans can’t digest into food and other products we use every day.

There were lots of questions, lots of discoveries, and plenty of “Ohhhs"

Agriculture is such an important part of our community, and helping kids understand where their food comes from — and just how much agriculture touches their everyday lives — is something we’re very proud to support.

A big thank you to Michigan Farm Bureau and Reese Elementary for giving our local kids such a fun way to learn, explore and experience agriculture firsthand.
