AFR LEAD Program Sponsors Training Seminar at Noble Foundation

The American Farmers & Ranchers LEAD program is sponsoring a one-day training program at the Noble Foundation Learning Center in Ardmore, May 19.  

Following lunch will be a session on teaching and communicating food production systems.  This session includes instruction and demonstrations on the Noble Foundation’s picnic basket, Noble Trunks, and specialty crops and agriculture.

The Noble Foundation’s picnic basket is a hands-on lesson created to provide learning opportunities about the value of agriculture and its presence in everyday life.

According to the Noble Foundation, the trunk program consists of a shippable container that comes complete with all the resources and materials to lead hands-on activities including the Carbon Cycle in a wheat field. The activities integrate into and support existing science curriculum and are aligned with Oklahoma education standards. The Carbon Cycle lesson introduces students to the importance of carbon to life. The activities are for middle school and high school students.
