Growing Knowledge Through Agriculture Education

At Farm Bureau, education is at the heart of what we do. From the classroom to the community, we offer programs that help students of all ages understand the importance of agriculture in their daily lives.

Through Ag in the Classroom programs, college scholarships, M*A*S*H camps, leadership workshops, and grant opportunities, we’re planting the seeds of knowledge and inspiring the next generation to appreciate and engage with Arkansas’s largest industry.

No matter where you live—on a farm, in a small town, or in the city—agriculture affects us all. That’s why we’re committed to helping everyone learn how food, fiber, and fuel make their way from the field to the table.

Arkansas Ag in the Classroom Teacher Award

The Arkansas Ag in the Classroom Outstanding Teacher Award honors exceptional educators who creatively weave agricultural concepts into non-agricultural subjects. This prestigious award celebrates Arkansas teachers who go above and beyond to help students understand the vital role agriculture plays in their daily lives—from the food they eat to the clothes they wear and the environment they live in. By recognizing these innovative teaching efforts, the award highlights the importance of agricultural literacy and inspires future generations to appreciate and engage with the world of agriculture.

Program questions can be directed to Donette Spann at donette.spann@arfb.com or (501) 228-1222.

The Arkansas Ag in the Classroom Outstanding Teacher Award guidelines and application will be available beginning in January 2026.
