AG Literacy Materials Available Through The Nevada Farm Bureau

Nevada Farm Bureau

School is back in session, and with the return of in-person learning Ag in the classroom events are making a return. The Nevada Farm Bureau has great resources for teachers or anyone assisting with an Ag in the classroom event who is looking for new and innovative resources to implement. There have been several new Ag Literacy resources made available that can be implemented into the classroom and events.

Each year the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture releases great resources such as Ag Mags, Livestock Banners, Books of the year, Teacher Guides, and more! The 2021 Book of the Year is Tales of the Dairy Godmother: Chuck’s Ice Cream Wish and has a matching Teacher’s Guide and Ag Mag.

The American Farm Bureau Foundation Ag mags are specifically designed with easy-to-read text that aligns with 3rd through 5th grade standards. These Ag Mags come in sets of 30, perfect for average classroom sizes! All topics covered by Ag Mags are:

  • Ag Innovations
  • Apple
  • Bees
  • Beef
  • Careers
  • Corn
  • Cotton
  • Energy
  • Entomology
  • Food Waste
  • Natural Resources
  • Pizza
  • Plant Breeding
  • Pork
  • Poultry
  • School Garden
  • Sheep
  • Snacks
  • Soybean
  • Specialty Crop
  • Wheat


All the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture resources are available on their website at dmsfulfillment.com/FarmBureau.

Another great resource available is the Nevada Agriculture and Water Educational Series the Nevada Ag Foundation has collaborated to create. This booklet has 5 lessons that align with Nevada 3rd-5th grade standards. Lesson cover topics from the history and importance of water to how agriculture is being conservation aware. The booklet also includes access to a Water & Agriculture Video series. This would be an ideal resource for Nevada Educators or a resource to provide to Educators at Ag in the Classroom events. If you or your county are looking for relevant resources to provide to teachers after an Ag in the Classroom event this could be an ideal resource.

Many of these resources are currently available and ready for use. If you have any questions or would like to use any of these resources, please feel free to contact Brittney Money at brittney@nvfb.org.
