Over the next few weeks, those in grade 3 will be able to see how some of their favourite ingredients for familiar foods like pizza, burgers, and fries are grown.

“It’s really just an immersive agricultural learning experience,” said Chandra Gusikoski, the communications manager for AITC -SK.

Students will also get a chance to learn more about bees, farm safety, water management, dairy, and more.

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring



This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.

Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
