Books for Ag Classes
Several ag teachers are now requiring their students to read certain books that pertain to some aspect of the agriculture industry as part of their class assignments. This page will be devoted to listing books that are appropriate for our students to read. If you have a book or books that you are using in your classes, please let me know and I'll get it listed on this page. Email me at ideas4aged@gmail.com . ** Please keep in mind that I do not endorse or promote the use of these books in your class. The ones that are listed on this page are suggestions from other ag teachers. Please do some research first to see if they will work for your class.
