🌻 Plant Knowledge. Grow Futures.

News & Media / July 17, 2026

Help Nevada Students Discover the Wonder of Agriculture

Every great harvest begins with healthy soil—and every future farmer, rancher, scientist, or informed consumer begins with education.

The Nevada Farm Bureau Heritage Foundation is proud to introduce the Plant Knowledge. Grow Futures. Classroom Seed Kit Campaign, an initiative designed to bring agriculture to life for Kindergarten through 2nd grade classrooms across Nevada.

Through this program, teachers receive everything they need to create a fun, hands-on learning experience that helps students understand healthy soil, plant growth, and where their food comes from.

For many children, this will be their very first opportunity to plant a seed, care for a living plant, and watch it grow. These simple experiences help build an appreciation for agriculture while encouraging curiosity, responsibility, and environmental stewardship.

What’s Included?

Each Classroom Seed Kit is designed for up to 25 students and includes:

  • 📖 One copy of The Soil in Jackie’s Garden
  • 🍃 One Educator’s Guide with engaging classroom lesson plans and activities
  • 📚 25 Soil Ag Mags (one for every student)
  • 🌻 25 complete sunflower growing kits (one for every student)

Everything arrives ready for teachers to begin an unforgettable classroom experience.

Why It Matters

Agriculture touches every person’s life, yet many children have little opportunity to experience it firsthand.

By supporting this program, you’re helping bridge that gap.

Each Classroom Seed Kit encourages students to ask questions, make observations, and understand the important role farmers and ranchers play in providing food, fiber, and fuel. It also gives teachers a ready-to-use resource that aligns reading, science, and agriculture into one engaging lesson.

Today’s young learners are tomorrow’s leaders, consumers, and agricultural advocates. By investing in agriculture education today, you’re helping cultivate an informed generation that understands and appreciates the importance of Nevada agriculture.

Growing a Brighter Future Together

Whether you’re an individual, family, business, agricultural partner, or community organization, your support makes a lasting difference.

One classroom.
Twenty-five students.
Countless opportunities to inspire the next generation.

Together, we can plant the seeds of knowledge that will continue growing for years to come.

Our Goal: Sponsor 100 Nevada Classrooms during the 2026–2027 school year, bringing hands-on agriculture education to more than 2,500 students.
