 Lawrence County  Farm Bureau Agriculture Literacy Coordinator Jaeleigh Waller was a recent guest at Parkside.  

It's not everyday someone visits us
and parks a combine right next to Ed Loeb Field!

We learned some important facts:

Illinois is the #2 corn producing state in the country!

AND

We produce more soybeans than any other state in the U.S.

Farms locally & across the state provide

food, fuel, and jobs for thousands of Illinois residents.

We also met Lawrence County Farm Bureau Manager Kacie Haag, who answered questions and invited any interested
pupil to climb into the cab of the combine.
