Yet another year has come and thanks to many in Cibola and McKinley County our up and coming youth are just that much smarter and knowledgeable when it comes to Agriculture. The Grants Rodeo Grounds played host to another great Ag Day and with over 600 students in attendance, well it is safe to say it was yet another successful event. Tanya Ott one of our Farm Bureau Board Members from Cibola/McKinley is the founder of Ag Days and has dedicated 12 years to this event, it is because of her support for Agriculture and the community that the event continues to be successful.
With a variety of vendors and exhibitors in attendance, many topics were covered from skin cancer prevention, soil erosion, feral pigs, guide dogs for the impaired, predator birds and livestock production. Chris Gutierrez our Cibola/McKinley County Farm Bureau President, and Mike Casados our Cibola/McKinley Board member represented the County Farm Bureau and explained to the audience why Agriculture is so important and where our food comes from. Chris explained that over the 12 years he has been doing this event it is amazing at the answers he gets when asking the audience where there food comes from, so folks it is events as such and the dedication of our Farm Bureaus that will continue to educate our youth so that Agriculture remains a viable industry. Thank you to the Cibola/McKinley County Farm Bureau for their efforts and most importantly thank Tanya Ott for your continued service to Agriculture.
