STILLWATER, Okla. (KFOR) – The Oklahoma State University Extension announced on Wednesday the launch of a farm bill curriculum for high school and 4-H students.

“There are bits and pieces of policy curriculum taught in high schools,” said Amy Hagerman, OSU Extension specialist for agriculture and food policy. “But a Farm Bill-centered youth curriculum didn’t exist in the country.”

OSU Extension initially developed online videos on Farm Bill basics in 2019. The course is offered in a self-paced online format for 4-H youth as well as a traditional classroom environment for high school students. The high school curriculum is set to extend to careers in ag policy, titles of the Farm Bill and how youth projects are affected by Farm Bill policy.

The class will consist and provide a turn-key curriculum for high school agriculture education classrooms, home-schooled youth, college students studying policy or agriculture, or others interested in learning about the Farm Bill.

Course materials and other ag policy-related resources can be found on the OSU Extension here.
