Maryland schools to include agriculture in curriculum nationwide
Frederick County leads with strong farm base including 525 dairy farms and 38 000 cows. Beginning 1980 all Maryland public school students will study agriculture as part of a new unit developed with the Maryland Farm Bureau and the Department of Education. The program aims to raise farmer knowledge, emphasize economics, and connect classrooms with local farm life through speakers tours and hands on experience.
