Dairy Farmers of Manitoba Support Ag Education with a $75,000 Contribution

At Agriculture in the Classroom Manitoba (AITC-M), we’re really excited to share some great news: Dairy Farmers of Manitoba is generously supporting us with a $75,000 contribution over three years to help bring agriculture education to schools across the province.

Dairy Farmers of Manitoba works every day to inspire, innovate, and collaborate to build a healthy Canadian dairy industry, a purpose that fits perfectly with what we do: helping students of all ages really understand where their food comes from, how it’s grown, and the hardworking people behind it all.

Thanks to this amazing support, we’ll be able to reach a lot more classrooms with hands-on, educational programs that connect what students learn to the real world. We want students to do more than just read about agriculture; we want them to experience it, ask questions, get curious, and really appreciate how important farming is to all of us.

This support is already making it possible for the next generation of students to have a richer, more meaningful learning experience.

Together, we’re growing knowledge, curiosity, and respect for the land and the people who work it, and that’s something truly worth celebrating
