Salute to Agriculture: Our Magic Farm
Students
who participate in this program will learn:
Ø That nearly
everything they eat or wear comes from American farmers.
Ø Some of the
economics involved in farming.
Ø To identify the
physical and economic inputs needed in farming.
Our Magic Farm is designed to run
for 30 to 45 minutes, but can be adjusted for your individual needs. Comedy and magic are used to teach basic
principles of agricultural science. 
Please note: as mentioned on the Magic
Gardener home page, Larry has spent over 18 years as an Extension
Educator with Purdue University, working with farmers in a supportive
role. Our Magic Farm is
designed to demonstrate the highest respect to farmers for the difficult job
they have in feeding America.
Our Magic Farm is best suited for
students from Kindergarten through 8th grade, but can be adapted for
older (high school) audiences. Our Magic Farm can also be adapted for adult audiences, including
farm meetings, grower conferences, and civic groups. A variation of this show was held at the
Indiana State Fair in August, 2004.
The Magic Gardener meets Science
