Valley 3rd graders got a hands-on lesson about Midwest weather and farming during today’s Ag in the Classroom visit!🌦️👩‍🌾

Students learned about the different types of weather we experience in the Midwest during all four seasons and how it impacts farmers throughout the year. From rainy and muddy springs to hot summers, windy falls, and snowy winters, farmers work through all kinds of conditions to care for their crops and livestock. One of the fun parts of the lesson was learning how farmers wear different types of boots to handle the changing weather and field conditions. The right boots help farmers stay safe and keep working no matter what Mother Nature brings!

It was a great day learning about how weather and agriculture go hand in hand. 🌽🚜

Fayette County Farm Bureau board members recently participated in the Farm Bureau Day at the Capitol in Des Moines on February 10th and March 11th. President Matt Baerg and Board Member Mark Hamlett attended to represent Fayette County and connect with state legislators.

As a grassroots organization, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation values the voices of its members and works to ensure their priorities are heard at the state level. Throughout the year, Farm Bureau gathers input from members on important issues impacting agriculture and rural communities. These ideas are discussed at the county, district, and state levels and developed into policy resolutions that help guide legislative priorities during the session.

The Farm Bureau Day at the Capitol provides an opportunity for members to meet with lawmakers, share perspectives from their local communities, and discuss issues important to agriculture and rural Iowa. Fayette County Farm Bureau is proud to have local leadership engaged in representing members and advocating for agriculture.

Kayleigh had a busy and engaging day at Oelwein Middle School leading students through the Journey 2050 water lesson!

Students explored how much of Earth’s water is actually usable, discovering that while our planet is covered in water, only a very small percentage is fresh and accessible for drinking, farming, and everyday needs. Through hands-on visuals and interactive discussion, they learned how water supports agriculture, from growing crops to caring for livestock, and why conservation matters.

The lesson encouraged students to think critically about where their water comes from and how their daily choices can help protect this essential resource for the future. 🌎💧

It’s National FFA Week, and we are proud to celebrate and support the next generation of agricultural leaders right here in Fayette County! 🌽💙💛

FFA helps students grow in leadership, service, and career skills while strengthening their connection to agriculture and their communities. These young leaders represent the future of our farms, food system, and rural communities.

This week, Fayette County Farm Bureau was excited to treat our local FFA chapters to a few treats as a small thank you for their hard work and dedication. We are grateful for all they do and look forward to seeing the impact they will continue to make in agriculture.

Happy National FFA Week to all our Fayette County FFA members and advisors!
