To celebrate the state’s rich agricultural and forestry foundation, Tennessee Agriculture Literacy Week will be observed November 1th through19th.  

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture hopes advocates will take part in educating young students about agriculture and forestry.

Tennessee Agriculture Literacy Week was designed to enhance and provide guidance and opportunities for new and innovative agriculture literacy programs. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture staff will visit schools in their communities to read agriculturally accurate books and share their farming and forestry experiences with students.

Tennessee 4-H and FFA members will also visit younger students during Tennessee Agriculture Literacy Week to share the opportunities they’ve enjoyed through involvement in agriculture.
