Demonstrations
After the ceremonies were completed the schoolchildren were divided into several groups. They traveled through Bountiful Valley Farm stopping at the stations that were setup for National Agriculture Day. At each station the children listened to a brief presentation on subjects relating to agriculture such as how to operate a Caterpillar tractor, how to till and irrigate a crop and how to milk a cow.
