Wisconsin Ag in the Classroom Program makes a difference connecting students to agriculture!

AITC would not be possible without volunteers generously sharing their time and talents in their communities. You can become an AITC volunteer by connecting with your county AITC coordinator!

View the full 2025 Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Impact Report and learn more about AITC in the comments.

Rochelle Schnadt from Dane County Farm Bureau & YFAs took a Wisconsin Ag in the Classroom Program book and activity to her child's classroom.

“AITC is a good fit for this season in life - no longer a YFA and limited available time as a mom who wants to stay involved in ag advocacy and my kids’ school. I had fun and can’t wait to do another activity with the kids - at home and at their schools.”

Connect with your county coordinator to find opportunities to volunteer in classrooms in your community!
