Our youngest granddaughter, Harper, is a fourth grader at a rural school in eastern Illinois. Today her class will culminate a study unit on farming with Agriculture Day.
Local farmers will bring farm equipment to the school. Children will get to sit on hay bales (a very prickly experience, as I recall), and there may even be livestock to pet, along with other fun stuff to do. Hopefully the experience will encourage participants to think about where their food comes from and to appreciate the farmers who toil long hours in the fields to make the magic happen.
Students were asked to wear something green or agriculture-related to school today.
I’m not sure this qualifies as farm apparel, but her t-shirt is green, and she makes an adorable farmer.
She also has a sweatshirt, courtesy of her Grandma Jill who works for a seed company, to wear in case the weather turns cooler.
Harper found a mask to go along with the day’s theme:
Maybe we can’t all attend an Ag Day, but we can at least thank a farmer. Where would we be without them? I don’t even want to think about that.
Peace, people!

Harper is adorable and I can see that she is excited about Farm Day. I would be, too. Thank you for sharing her beautiful, happy story today.
