We had a great time at Yolo County Farm Bureau’s Farm Connection Day on May 2 in Woodland! More than 2,000 students from across Yolo County came out to learn about agriculture and where their food comes from. One thing we learned – Yolo County has the climate and soil to grow more than 200 crops that we all regularly consume!
The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District hosted a hands-on booth where students explored how air moves and how weather conditions can impact air pollution. Using cotton balls, kids got to “blow” air across a surface and watch how it moved through a bowl — a fun and effective way to visualize air flow, weather patterns, and their role in pollution levels and crop health.
A big thank you to the Yolo County Farm Bureau for organizing such an engaging and educational event!
