Back in the fall the farm did a program called History Hits the Road. The idea of the program is to load up one of our trailers and take a part of the farm on the road to schools who can't make the trip to see us. In the fall version of the program we did apple pressing, wheat grinding and talked about power on the farm by using a John Deere H to give a wagon ride around the school. The spring offering centers more on the livestock side with us taking cattle, sheep and chickens out to help tell the story of animal husbandry and how it fits into agriculture. Speaking from the staff side, this is such a fun program to do. The kids just come alive when they step out of their school and the playground is now full of animals.
