Local Kids Get a Look at the Farm Life as Reading Program Welcomes Armadillos, Donkeys and More

The Texas Farm Bureau brought a mobile learning barn (above) to La Grange this past Wednesday, July 12. Several members of the Bureau brought various livestock, including a pig, goat, armadillos and donkeys to the Fayette Public Library and presented information about each one for families involved in the summer reading program. A presentation discussing cotton production was given as well. Children had the opportunity to pet several of the livestock at the event (presentor Ralph Fisher shows off an armadillo, right). Kids even got to take home their very own piece of farm-grown cotton. To learn more or book a unit, email the Farm Bureau at MLB@txfb.org or call (254) 751-2273.
