Ag In The Classroom Adjusts Programming

With students home from school, Agriculture in the Classroom is changing the way it operates.

 

"We've switched to obviously entirely online resources and activities, which we've always had but we've also done in-person programming," said Manitoba Executive Director Sue Clayton. "We've been sending teacher newsletters every couple of weeks full of resources and activities for students that they can either print off and send home in a package to students or where's there's a link that they can email the link to the students and have them do it online."

 

Clayton says they've had to cancel a number of events due to COVID-19.

 

"We're not doing any events up until the end of June," she said. "We're now looking at all of our fall programs and making decisions on those and some of that we'll make decisions closer to the time and some of them we'll be making decisions fairly shortly."

Video: Planting Corn with Classic Allis-Chalmers Tractors | Full Field Action

Step into the field for a full day of spring fieldwork as this farm plants corn using classic Allis-Chalmers power near Arcanum, Ohio. In this video, the farm is working ground with an Allis-Chalmers 8050 pulling a Salford field cultivator and Brillion Culti-Packer to prepare the seedbed. Right behind, an Allis-Chalmers 7020 handles planting duties with a 12-row White planter, putting this year’s corn crop in the ground. You’ll see a mix of aerial drone footage and ground-level views capturing all the action, along with a voiceover that dives into the history and legacy of these two Allis-Chalmers tractors. It’s a great look at how reliable, older equipment is still getting the job done during spring planting season. If you enjoy classic farm equipment, corn planting, and real-world field action, this one is for you.
