Agriculture Literacy Programs
The Nevada Ag Wagon
Agriculture is one of Nevada’s — and the nation’s — major industries, yet few people have exposure to farm and ranch life, or even a basic understanding of how food and fiber are produced. Agriculture literacy helps people develop an understanding of how agriculture affects their daily lives. Nevada Farm Bureau is committed to expanding Ag Literacy throughout the state.
The Nevada Farm Bureau Ag Wagon is a mobile learning experience that exhibits & teaches about Nevada agriculture. Traveling the state, this mobile agricultural exhibit captivates minds of all ages & fosters a deeper understanding of agricultural practices and the significance of agriculture in everyone’s lives.
