Connecting to Agriculture

This 17-minute video is a great way for students to learn about how agriculture connects to their lives.

Interwoven through the commodity stories of corn, cotton, apples, dairy, and soybeans are important concepts such as: biodegradable properties, renewable resources, biotechnology, foreign trade, pest management, conservation practices, and food quality.
