VPG | Sep 06, 2014 | Comments 0
The Prowers Conservation District (PCD) supports the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) poster contest for 6th graders. All 6th graders in the Prowers Conservation District are eligible to participate in this contest. PCD goes to each school and does a presentation of the theme; which this year is “Dig Deeper: Mysteries in the Soil.” PCD provides each student with a 22″ x 28″ poster board, information about the theme and guidelines of making a great poser. Along with the poster contest, PCD and Stulp Farms holds a farm tour for all 6th graders. On September 29th, Lamar, Alta Vista and Wiley 6th graders will go to Stulp Farms and will have five stations available for each student to understand about farming and farm safety. These five stations consist of farm equipment, dry land farming, farm safety (Farm Bureau brings their safety trailer to the tour), terraces, wildlife and a station for donuts and water that is provided by PCD.
