Dewitt and Piatt County's newly shared Ag in the Classroom Coordinator! We are so excited to welcome her onto our team and look forward to all the fabulous additions and lessons she will provide to our students in our community! We are so excited to watch our Ag in the Classroom program flourish into what we always hoped it would be! Here is a word from Heather our NEW Ag in the Classroom Coordinator: "My name is Heather Berbaum and I am so excited to be the new Ag in the Classroom coordinator! A little bit about myself: I grew up on a grain and hog farm in Livingston County and graduated from the Ag Business program at Parkland in 2008. After graduation I worked for several years in sweet corn research at IFSI. In the last few years I have been helping out on my husband's family farm and have been raising our own little farm kids. I live on a farm in rural Champaign with my husband, Jim, and our 3 children. I am looking forward to sharing my love of agriculture to the next generation! |
