HOTL Hosts Agriculture Professionals in the Classroom

A big thank you to Liz Wiese of EOT Soil and Water for setting up Agriculture in the Classroom Day! She put together a wonderful line up of presenters to talk about our area land and soil, water, and farming community.

We had Aimee Duchene and Nathan Weise from EOT SWCD talk to the kids about groundwater and crops.
Troy Baumgart and Jacob Johnson from NRCS played Jeopardy with the topic of soil.
Joe and Diane Sazama talked about what they do on a sheep farm. They also brought in a lamb for the children to pet and see.
Mark Riestenberg visited with the kids about what he does on a hog farm and he also brought in a baby piglet for the kids to see.
Albert Werner talked to the kids about what he does on a beef farm.
The Gorentz’s visited about what they do on a dairy farm.
Finally, thank you to Shell Tumberg and the Perham FFA for presentations to kids on what they do in FFA and Farm Safety.

All of Perham’s third and fourth graders had a great morning full of fun and learning about Agriculture in our area! Thank you to everyone for making this an awesome learning day for our kids!
