Virtual Agriland - https://ksagclassroom.org/virtual-agriland/

With our industry partners, we developed a virtual Agriland to replace the hands-on experience provided annually at the state fair. We launched this page on our website in September when the state fair would have normally taken place. In just three months, we had +1,700 views. We plan to keep this resource available and expand it as we develop new virtual resources.

Major Program Impacts or Outcomes

Raised awareness of our organization which resulted in the increased press about our organization.

Raised awareness of resources available.

Strengthened industry partnerships through joining ag literacy efforts and therefore generated organizational support.
