I am on my way to National Agriculture Day activities which will be taking place tomorrow. Here’s another event you might want to check out being held again this year. It’s National Teach Ag Day which is being celebrated on March 15 and it includes a live stream event.
The agriculture program at Buena Park High School in Buena Park, Calif. has been selected as the site for the first ever national Teach Ag Day celebration to be streamed live online.
Anyone logging in on March 15 will be able to watch an agriscience class in action, as well as follow along on a program tour. Participants will get an insider’s view of the agriculture department’s state-of-the-art agriscience lab, large animal pavilion, greenhouse, farm store, 350-tree orchard, and facility that houses 200 laying hens.
Events will also include a panel of agricultural education experts answering questions via Twitter, Facebook and email, plus greetings from National FFA Central Region vice president Alicia Hodnik.

National Teach Ag Day is a component of the National Teach Ag Campaign, an initiative to bring attention to the career of agricultural education, get students thinking about a possible career in agricultural education, and to support current agricultural educators in their careers.
The Teach Ag Campaign is an initiative of the National Council for Agricultural Education, led by the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE). It is sponsored by the CHS Foundation and Landmark Nurseries as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.
