Ag Days at Mooseheart

The Kane County Farm Bureau sponsored its 27th Annual Ag Days program this week at Mooseheart.

In conjunction with its Ag Literacy program, farm bureau volunteers met with up to 1,500 fourth-graders from area schools Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at Mooseheart, near Batavia.

Students were guided through a series of 15 stations where they learned about all aspects of agriculture.
