This May, McClain FFA hosted its annual Food For America event. Preschoolers through fifth-graders who attend Greenfield Elementary have the opportunity to go to the high school ag building and learn about agriculture. 

The McClain FFA Officers led the kids through the 4 rotations. Elementary students got to sit on and take a picture with a tractor, and then go pet a rodeo horse. They also got to pet and see several different farm animals like rabbits, chickens, cows, goats, a pig, and a dog. Then, the kids went into an ag class to learn about cows and make their own out of paper plates. Around 600 students visited the event and McClain FFA looks forward to hosting this event for years to come.
