Discover Nebraska: Agriculture Edition

Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom is pleased to provide seventh – ninth grade students enrolled in an Introduction to Agriculture course in agricultural education with Discover Nebraska: Agriculture Edition. This resource aligns with Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resource Standards (AFNR).

Discover Nebraska: Agriculture Edition will spark conversation, build knowledge, and expose students to agriculture in Nebraska. This resource will stimulate students to explore and learn more about the news and to pay attention to the news they see and hear outside of school. Relevant and accurate information is presented in a weekly reader style magazine to build agricultural literacy – awareness, knowledge, and appreciation – by providing the first of its kind agricultural literacy resource to all agricultural education programs in Nebraska.

Each reader is accompanied by more than sixty pages of Teacher’s Guides broken into Bell Ringers, Discussion Prompts, and Lab Activities. These guides allow learning to take place for more than one class period as educators are encouraged to use each reader per quarter.

In September 2023, a set of four print readers packaged in a bundle of twenty-five readers for each edition will be mailed to EVERY agricultural education program in Nebraska.

Introduce students to technology, the environment, the economy, and more!
