Tell Me Something Good

Homeschool Ag Day

Camden County’s 2nd Annual Homeschool Ag Day provided a unique opportunity for local homeschoolers to explore the world of agriculture. The event was a collaborative effort between Camden County Extension and local farmer and Homeschool 4-H Club Leaders Matt and Michele Davis, welcomed 75 youth from Camden County and surrounding areas. Participants explored farm equipment and embarked on a virtual harvesting adventure using VR headsets, gaining insight into the crops cultivated in their own backyard. Experts from Parkway Ag and Tidewater Ag shared valuable knowledge about grain operations and the increasing importance of drones in agriculture. Additionally, Grace Atkins, Horticulture Extension Agent from Pasquotank County, offered a practical lesson on seed planting.
