SAVANNA — A University of Illinois Extension Agriculture in the Classroom program recently taught West Carroll second grade students about cotton through a presentation and demonstration.
Students were shown how cotton was planted, harvested and made into fabric. Each student received their own cotton ball to gin and take home.
Agriculture in the Classroom teaches students a greater awareness of the role of agriculture in the economy and society.
