We were happy to join Overton County Farm Bureau/ Livingston Office again this year for the annual Ag in the Classroom. The event is held at the Overton County fairgrounds and consist of different stations that teach children about farming. The event is held for all 3rd graders in the county. The Overton County Soil & Water Conservation District helped the children make a soil baby to take home again this year. We would like to thank the FBLA class of Livingston Academy again this year for their help and assistance.
