The annual Monroe County Farm Bureau Ag Day was held Thursday, May 7 at the Monroe County Fairgrounds for third graders from the Albia, Moravia, and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Freemont school districts.

The students moved through a variety of stations learning about farm equipment, animals, the pork and dairy industries, water conservation, veterinary care, spinning fibers and more.

Volunteers ran the sessions and the students also enjoyed lunch at the fairgrounds.
