Agriculture in the Classroom: Our Mission!
Welcome to our amazing learning environment for elementary students!
We are thrilled to offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity for children to explore the fascinating world of agriculture from all angles. From production agriculture to the exciting business and marketing side, we are passionate about educating children on where their food comes from. Join us on this thrilling journey of discovery and learning!
Stephanie "Steph" Eckroat
As the Ellis County Service Coordinator, I am here to help you make the "Ag Connection" you have been searching for! In my youth, my love of animals led me by accident or fate into the amazing world of agriculture. With 30 + years of experience and a degree in Ag from Fort Hays State University, I am at your service. I'm always happy to chat about the industry and our amazing farmers and ranchers!
Abigail "Abby" Graham
I am the AG in the Classroom Coordinator for Ellis County Farm Bureau. I am pursuing a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education. My upbringing in Northwest Kansas led to a deep passion for agriculture, further nurtured through my involvement in 4-H and FFA. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to combine my love for education and agriculture in my current role.
How it works...
Ellis County Farm Bureau strives to create an efficient and effective learning environment for you and your students! These are "on your own" learning packets that can be done at your speed, perfect to fill gaps in the classroom. To locate the lessons hover on "Ag in the Classroom" at the top of the page and select your specific age level.
​
Each grade will have learning modules to cover throughout the year. We will shuffle them around every year so they will change. Please reach out to Steph or Abby with any questions.
