FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kern County Farm Bureau’s Farm Day in the City
Farm Day in the City is getting closer! This annual agriculture event held each spring for second-fourth
grade students has been sponsored by the Kern County Farm Bureau since 1984. It is an opportunity to
educate elementary school children about one of Kern County’s leading industries, through up-close and
interactive experiences. Over the years, Farm Day has grown from being held at one school with several
children in attendance, to over 5,000 children at the Kern County Fairgrounds. The overall goal of the
event is to familiarize children with agriculture and its importance to not only our community but
California.
On March 8th and 9th, students in attendance will see exhibits involving farm machinery,
livestock, and commodities. As well as demonstrations on ag-specific issues of water, safety and pesticide
use. Local farmers, agri-business representatives and high school FFA students volunteer their time to
dialogue with the children and demonstrate the various agriculture topics.
Each year, the Kern County Farm Bureau tries to improve this event which has become the largest
continuous student-oriented county farm bureau program in the State of California. Farm Day in the City
would not be possible if it were not for our exhibitors, contributors and volunteers. Registration for
schools has been closed. Sorry, this event is not open to the public.
