How does Agriculture make Kentucky better? You could choose to write or show any of the following:
Agriculture provides food and resources. The Kentucky Farms Feed Me Virtual Field Trip Series (Primary) and Kentucky Food and Farm Files (Intermediate+) are great places for research.
Agriculture provides income and jobs for Kentuckians. Farmers earn money when they sell their agricultural products. When they reinvest in their farms, they create jobs for more people. The businesses that use Kentucky’s agricultural products to make new goods also create jobs. What is an example of this in your community?
