The St. Clair County Farm Bureau represents 3,871 member families in St. Clair County. Members are preparing to host their Rural Education Day at Goodells County Park on Wednesday September 22.
Project RED (Rural Education Day) connects 4th grade students from schools across the county with the farmers that raise livestock and cultivate the crops produced in our area.
Students will learn about the dairy industry along with bees, pigs, rabbits, and beef cattle. They will also learn about sugar beets, wheat, corn, and soybeans.
Local farmers will be set up in stations throughout the fairgrounds to share their knowledge with students.
2021 Project RED Day is part of St. Clair County Farm Bureau’s mission to educate youth in the community about how agriculture enriches their lives.
