Ag Week Hosts Educational Event
Linda Veatch, Corner Post Staff

September 22, 2003 - Monday, Ag students met before 9 a.m. to set up booths full of fun stuff to learn. The MU students who worked the booths created an educational presentation and taught the fourth graders about agriculture.

The different booths consisted of a variety of educational topics. ACT provided a booth where the students were videotaped reading a prompt and the video was given to their teachers. The Ag Week booth taught them about the parts of the cheeseburger, while the Mizzou Tigers For Tigers booth informed the students about tigers and the dangers for tigers in the world. The Agronomy club allowed the children to plant a seed or paint a pumpkin, and the Collegiate Cattlewoman introduced by-products from beef cows.

There were numerous other booths that kids also visited. There were three schools whose fourth graders took part in the occasion.
