More than 1,100 second grade students participated during the 3 days and well over one thousand people visit the Ag Ventures tent on self-guided tours throughtout the week. The Ag Venture tent displays information about the importance of agriculture. Students are presented with 12 educational stations that provided interactive learning on various commodities including blueberries, goats, rabbits, citrus, forestry, poultry, beef, equine, honey bees, row crops, and peanuts. Marion County Farm Bureau is part of a Farm City Week Coalition that plans and hosts several activities for the general public during Farm City Week. Activities include a photo contest, open house and farm tours, and a Marion County Ag Hall of Fame banquet. Farm City Week is celebrated annually to remind everyone of the interdependency of food producers, and consumers, as well as those who process, package, transport and retail food. Marion County Farm Bureau read to approximately 2,000 students during Agriculture Literacy Day. We partner with UF/IFAS, UF CALS Graduate students, FFA students and advisors, elected officials and other volunteers to read an age appropriate book focused on the importance of farming and agriculture in Florida and our community. 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 FL X James C Lefils Jr 3522372124 5800 SW 20th Street Ocala FL 344749360 X Samuel B Love Jr Director 2 X 0 0 0 James A Boyer President 3 X Russell Randall Director 2 X James C Lefils Jr Treasurer 2 X Joseph M O'Farrell Director 2 X Christine Damron Secretary 1 X Pat Duane Vice President 1 X David Perry Director 2 X John Sapp Director 2 X Samantha Dailey Director 2 X Steve Howell Director 2 X 0 0 0 Membership Dues 813910 165260 165260 YFR and Women's 813910 2526 2526 Membership Reimb 813910 30056 30056 197842 24621 24621 8825 8825 8825 8825 11138 9877 1261 1261 Sales Tax 561499 536 536 536 233085 197842 1797 33446 4000 47825 750 1029 53 11184 9983 3999 110 FFBF Membership Dues 75276 SE Youth Fair 17123 YFR & Women's 2782 Sponsorship 1410 2472 177996 39996 83867 578310 583442 4534 5154 352630 250965 97014 101665 96290 104869 816144 878997 0 0 X 816144 878997 816144 878997 816144 878997 55089 7764 X 0 0 0 1 1 0 15561 15561 318411 233649 84762 5674 4436 1238 12984 12880 104 101665 Investments 104869 F 104869 Part 6, Line 6 Marion County Farm Bureau is a membership based organization.
