Farm Service Agency Supports FS4JK Volunteers
Farm
Service Agency (FSA) recently renewed its commitment to
Farm Safety 4 Just Kids (FS4JK) in 2006, by contributing
$20,000 to support the organization’s chapter network of
volunteers.
Since 1987, FS4JK has grown to include a network of
nearly 130 volunteer chapters throughout the United
States and Canada. Each year, more than 100 children are
killed and 38,000 are injured on farms and ranches. The
FS4JK chapter network gives all those affected by these
life-changing incidents a way to make a difference.
Volunteers are farmers, business owners, school
teachers, police, parents and EMT workers.
For more information call Farm Safety 4 Just Kids -

The United States Department
of Agriculture supports
Agriculture in the
Classroom programs across the country.
FSA works in partnership with State Departments of
Agriculture and Farm Bureaus across the country
promoting school-based programs that help students
in grades K-12 acquire broader knowledge about
agriculture and how it affects their world. |
|
For many states, agriculture is their most important industry,
with one out of every four jobs depend on growing,
improving, shipping and selling the food we eat and the products
we make from agricultural resources.
The
National Agriculture in the Classroom Resource Directory
is a good place to start if you are looking for
educational materials. It is searchable by grade and
subject levels, media type and area of the country
addressed in the resource.
Here are some other helpful
tools:

Eating Index from the USDA Center for Nutrition
Policy and Promotion.
