Bingham County Classrooms today! She is
sponsored by The Idaho Farm Bureau
Her platform for Miss America is about supporting agriculture. She has been traveling around doing Ag in the Classroom presentations.
Since my brother Kendall is a Farm Bureau Public Relations man, and Chris Dalley is the Young Farmer and Rancher Chairman they brought her to their daughters schools for a special assembly while she was in town for the fair parade. They went to SR Middle School, Riverside and Rockford Elementary's along with
others. At Rockford Kendalls daughter Kwynn just happens to be in my sister's (Mrs. Baldwin) class and so they got a special treat. Kara came into their class and read a book and then helped them each make a bracelet with beads representing the things that plants need to grow. They kids (especially the goo goo eyed boys) really thought it was neat! She left them all an autographed picture. She is a real sweet girl and instilled in the kids a knowledge of how much a role agriculture plays in the lives of Idahoans. Did you know that MILK is Idahos number 1 money crop! Naturally most of us think it must be potatoes. I also learned about more cash crops that we don't think about, mint & trout, to name a couple. I hope the kids learned as much as I did. I was lucky that they let me visit and enjoy this special day!
