OSWEGO COUNTY – Students at Sandy Creek Elementary welcomed a special visitor for Agriculture Day as Karen Ashworth from the Oswego County Cooperative Extension led an interactive lesson on farming and the seasons.

Ashworth read the book “Seasons on the Farm,” guiding students through the year on a working farm. The story illustrated how farming changes with each season and featured vivid images that helped students visualize the process.

Students learned that spring brings the return of birds, along with rain and occasional storms, and marks the time when seeds are planted. In summer, crops grow and fields flourish. Fall is the season for harvesting crops and pumpkins, while winter is a time for farmers to maintain and repair their equipment, including tractors.

Following the reading, students completed a hands-on project to demonstrate what they had learned about the seasonal cycle of farming.

Students walked away with a stronger understanding of how farming influences the food and resources they use every day.
