As school gets started, there is still much uncertainty about what the year will look like. Now more than ever, virtual resources are a critical component of education. KFAC is responding to the need for virtual resources with a website expansion project. The first phase of this project will be launching next week. We hope this virtual project will fill the void left from the 2020 Kansas State Fair cancellation.
We appreciate the support you have shown KFAC in the past and hope you will stay connected with us as we support teachers in navigating online and hybrid learning. Moving forward in these trying times has been a challenge for us, but we remain committed to bringing Ag into every classroom every day because our youth will determine the future of agriculture.

Feeding the world relies on balancing economic, social and environmental sustainability and students must focus on all three to level up.
