For more than 30 years, high school students have been learning what it means to be an American through Farm Bureau's youth Citizenship Seminar. Outstanding speakers and informative sessions give insight into the legislative process, timely issues and the students leave with a better appreciation of the freedom they have. This Farm Bureau program is sponsored by the state Promotion and Education Committee.
Forms are available from the state office.
Adopt a Classroom provides 4th grade students contact with farm families as part of their study of North Dakota. The creativity of some elementary teachers, however, has brought bits and pieces of this program to many other grade levels as well. In the program, a farm family adopts a class and corresponds with them during the school year. The correspondence can include letters, pictures, videos and even visits to the class and the farm. For some children, this is their only insight to North Dakota agriculture and farm life.
