The kindergarten students at Southview Elementary School had a hands-on learning experience this week as they built their own bird feeders—and learned how the activity connects to agriculture in a meaningful way.
As students assembled their bird feeders, they talked about where bird seed comes from and how farmers play a role in growing crops like sunflower seeds and corn that feed wildlife. This simple project helped students understand that agriculture isn’t just about food on our plates—it also supports animals, ecosystems, and the environment around us.
By observing birds and learning how to care for them, students explored the idea of stewardship and responsibility for living things. They learned that farmers work with nature every day, helping provide food for people while also protecting habitats for wildlife.
This fun, hands-on activity encouraged curiosity, environmental awareness, and appreciation for agriculture at an early age. It was a wonderful example of how classroom learning can connect to the real world—one bird feeder at a time!
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
