Thank a Farmer!

The Missouri Farm Bureau celebrated farmers with a “Thank a Farmer” poster contest. Two Platte County Farm Bureau farmers visited Mrs. Bunge’s and Mrs. Barmann’s classrooms to share what farmers do for us everyday. The students then created posters that depicted modern agriculture in a positive way. The first place winner was Paige Borylo, second place, Emma Rife and third place Charlie Kinslow. The students were proud to celebrate the farmers’ contributions to our county. (Picture shown on front page)
