On the Local Level Summer 2009

PASQUOTANK COUNTY Farm Bureau’s Women’s Committee recently helped with “Wake Up to Ag Day,” an event for county third-graders. Women’s Committee Members prepared bags containing pencils, tattoos, and corn seeds in dirt for students and teachers. They also had a display of cotton, barley, corn, milo, soybeans and products made from those things for students to see and feel, as well as pictures of farm animals and plants.
Also, Pasquotank High School freshman Colin Brickhouse, the son of county president Kevin Brickhouse, attended the event with his Angus Maine Cross cow, Amy, and her calf, Rocky. Colin, 15, is in his first year of FFA.
