PLYMOUTH — Marshall County’s  Ag Day Committee would like to invite individuals to stop by and learn about agriculture on Thursday, April 2, at Centennial Park in Plymouth.
“We will have educational booths set up from 8:30 in the morning through 2:30 p.m.,” said Bob Yoder, extension educator.
“The goal of the committee is to inform the public how Marshall County participates in producing our food and share the importance of this industry to our local economy.”

The committee will have educational displays on dairy cattle, beef cattle, ducks, swine, sheep, natural resource conservation, crop production, farm safety, nutrition, electrical safety and the 4-H program.
“If you have time over lunch hour, please stop by the park and check out our displays,” Yoder said. “Also, if you are a full-time homemaker, this is a great activity for you to learn about our agricultural industry that raises food you find in area grocery stores.”
Yoder said if anyone plans to bring a group of individuals, notify the Marshall County Extension Office ahead of time, by calling 574-935-8545, so that they can be prepared.
“We already have a busy schedule planned for the day with area third graders coming to the event,” Yoder said.
