October 18, 2023

This 30-minute virtual field trip will connect K-5 students directly with a northwest Ohio soybean farmer for a ride-along in his combine as he harvests soybeans.

Students will:

  • Get a live tour of an Ohio soybean farm and ride in a combine during harvest
  • Learn how a combine works and how grain is stored in and transported through an elevator
  • Learn what happens to soybeans after they leave the field
  • Discover the uses and benefits of Ohio soybeans
  • and more!

This LIVE Virtual Farm Trip is hosted by GrowNextGen, the educational initiative of the Ohio Soybean Council, in cooperation with educationprojects.org, a team of educators that writes curriculum and manages education programs connecting the workplace to the classroom.
