Our first ever Ag Day was a hit! 🐴🌽

They learned about horses, bee keeping seedlings, butter making, farm equipment, lassoing and so much more to learn where our food comes from right here in our New Melle community!

The kids had a blast, so be ready to hear all the stories of their fun experiences and all the things they learned this afternoon! 🐄🚜
