Read MoreAthens-Meigs County Farm Bureau hosted the 21st Annual Athens County Ag Day at the Athens County Fairgrounds on May 13, 2024.
Each year we host the Athens County 4th grade students to teach them about different types of agriculture. There were 437 children that attended this spring. The students rotate through 18 different stations throughout the day. Each student was able to take home a free drawstring bag with all of the bag sponsors on it along with a brochure about what Farm Bureau is and the events they were able to participate in for the day!
