Madison County Farm Bureau had the chance to go to Lee Elementary School on Monday, April 24, and read Drive Through Florida Aquaculture & Seafood for Florida Agriculture Literacy Day.
Volunteer readers were: Ginny Paarlberg (Madison Farm Bureau Women's Chair), Brad Dicks (Florida Farm Bureau Federation), Buck Carpenter (Madison Farm Bureau's Young Farmer & Rancher Chair), and Lindsey Lawson (Madison County Farm Bureau Federation & Insurance).

Madison County Farm Bureau leaders read each year to as many schools in Madison County as possible and educate each student about agriculture and the importance of agriculture.
If you are interested in volunteering and reading to students at a school, please contact Lindsey at the Madison County Farm Bureau Office at (850) 973-4071.
