We're excited to award over $668,000 in agriculture literacy grants to nearly 80 county-level ag literacy programs across the state of Illinois. These funds will be used to provide resources and learning experiences to over 640,000 students for this upcoming school year.
What a fun way to learn about pumpkins and pollinators! Check out Michelle Schaub's new book "Pumpkin Smash" and already smash hit, "A Pathway for Pollinators." Enjoy ag accurate connections and lessons to use in your classroom!
Congrats to Erikka Coletta, the 2026 IAITC Teacher of the Year!
Thanks to April showers aplenty this year, most Illinois farmers will spend the first part of this month planting rows and rows of Illinois' top agriculture commodities: corn and soybeans, and we will follow suit by sharing rows and rows of our favorite corn and soybean resources!
