Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan running campaign to fill up kit stocks

After seeing recent success, Agriculture in The Classroom Saskatchewan is holding a new campaign to hopefully continue that.

Their Acres for Education Campaign will look for support from the farmers that their programs represent.

Executive Director, Sara Shymko shares what that's all about.

"The Acres for Education Campaign is an invitation to farmers all across Saskatchewan to donate $0.10 for every acre they farm to agriculture in the classroom to bring more ag experiences to students all across the province, particularly to replenish our learning kits, which are very popular among teachers and to deliver some in-person classroom experiences."

That money will go towards the various kits that AITC creates, which are in high demand.
