Students at Ballico Elementary School learned all about local agriculture last week during their annual Ag Week event. The students visited a variety of local farms and dairies and hosted special presenters including the Livingston High School FFA club.

Heston Nunes of the Dairy Council of California taught fourth through eighth graders all about running a dairy farm with help from the Mobile Dairy Classroom and “Roxie” a five-year-old brown Swiss cow at Ballico Elementary on Thursday.
