STATE PROGRAMS

Each state organization addresses agriculture education in a way best suited to its own needs. In some cases, an all-volunteer network is responsible for teacher education and resource development and distribution. States have formed educational nonprofit organizations which have the benefit of a tax-deductible status. In some states leadership is provided through the departments of education, agriculture or other government agencies; in other states through agriculture organizations or commodity groups; some through universities or colleges; and in some cases through the dedicated efforts of one or two individuals. Some state organizations have employed full and/or part-time persons to support Agriculture in the Classroom. The combined efforts of volunteers and professional staff are vital ingredients for success.
