FARM DAY IN THE CITY TAKES KIDS TO THE COUNTRY

More than 4,000 elementary schoolers are getting an inside look at the ag industry during the annual “Farm Day in the City” event. Students get to pet animals, talk with farmers, and see machinery demonstrations at the Kern County Fairgrounds through Wednesday.

The Farm Bureau has put on the fair for the past 33 years to encourage city kids to take up farming when they grow up.
