From the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce...
The Great Bend Chamber of Commerce would like to say THANK YOU to the dozens of businesses and volunteers who help execute the Kids Ag Day event annually! We appreciate you and your support that allows hundreds of 4th graders to explore the world ag right in our back yards.
For the 29th year Barton County schools attended Kids Ag Day. In all, 360 fourth grade students from around the county gathered at Diamond K Farms west of Great Bend. All of the Barton County schools were represented.
“I’m just happy to be able to host,” said Josh Koelsch, owner of Diamond K Farms.
Josh was in the original class of fourth graders when Kids Ag Day began and his father, Ron, helped establish the event 30 years ago. Josh drove one of the tractors on the tour portion of the day. Each hay rack tour stopped at five stations.
