AG LITERACY: Learners of all ages are the key audience of Minnesota Ag in the Classroom. MAITC is a public-private partnership between the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation. Ag in the Classroom provides free curriculum, educational resources, grants, outreach and professional development opportunities to increase ag literacy through K-12 education. Forced to move to online learning, Minnesota Ag in the Classroom has attracted a greater audience, even some outstate.
