CALLING ALL FFA AND AG EDUCATION PROGRAMS
As a leader in innovative agriculture, we are inviting your students to participate in an FFA Essay Contest. We at Green Cover believe that educating the future generation is extremely important. We put a vast majority of time and energy into teaching people about soil health and regenerative agriculture practices. In light of this we want to invest in our local FFA Chapters and provide resources for you to use in your agriculture education classroom. Our founder Keith Berns was an Agriculture Education Teacher for 10 years before he returned to the Family Farm and started Green Cover and he is a strong believer in the future of agriculture. He has helped our team put together three resources for you to use in your agricultural education classroom. (See below information) We hope you can put these resources to good use and inspire your students to participate in our FFA Essay Contest where one of your students and your FFA Chapter could be featured in our Soil Health Resource Guide, which gets distributed to people all over the world!
