Our Mission
To increase general understanding of agriculture through interactive educational experiences in the classroom and on the farm. We want consumers to understand and appreciate agriculture, food production, and the farm families who provide their everyday products.
Program History
Ag Education on the Move began as an educational effort by the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council (MSMC) and the soy checkoff.
In 2011, MSMC saw a need for hands-on agriculture education and committed its resources to build a program that took agriculture education into elementary school classrooms. By 2015, the program had grown to represent all of Missouri agriculture, and MSMC and Missouri Farmers Care came together on a plan that would support even more growth going forward.
Missouri Farmers Care is a joint effort by Missouri’s farming and agriculture community to stand together for the men and women who provide the food and jobs on which our community depends. Visit www.MoFarmersCare.com for more information.
Today, the program is in more than 100 schools and has connected with more than 200,000 students and their families across Missouri.
