The International Agri-Center hosted its second annual AgVentures! Day for 4th grade students to explore farming, food and fun on Friday, May 23, 2014 in Tulare. Presentations were aimed at teaching students about agriculture, safety and nutrition. Students saw a sheep dog demonstration and enjoyed the "What Does My Plate Say" skit by the UCCE Cal Fresh team while learning about nutrition. The event also featured many live animal demonstrations with a dairy cow, horse and sheep on-site. Participants also sampled products from Rosa Brothers Milk, Sun Maid Raisins, Raisels, California Dried Plums and Musco Family Olives.
With support from UCCE and the Tulare County Farm Bureau, the International Agri-Center's AgVentures! Day educated 1,600 students from Tulare and Visalia schools about California's abundant agricultural industry and healthy food choices.
