Stephenson County Farm Bureau

Agriculture in the Classroom

Agriculture-in-the-Classroom is a fundamental part of Farm Bureau's education efforts to share the story of agriculture's important role in our daily lives. Thousands of teachers, students and parents are affected each year by the outreach of this program.

In Stephenson County, this effort is coordinated through the Conservation and Agricultural Partners (CAP) Foundation, a coalition of local organizations committed to fulfilling this goal. Stephenson County Farm Bureau is one of the primary partners in this coalition, and the CAP office is located in the Farm Bureau building. Martha Ebbesmeyer is the Education Coordinator for the CAP Foundation, and she can be reached at (815) 235-2165 (office) or by e-mail at cap@aeroinc.net.
