Child Nutrition & Wellness
January 29, 2023 is the 162nd birthday of our great state. Kansas farmers produce many food products that can be tasty menu items in Child Nutrition Programs. Milk from Kansas dairies, beef, pork and eggs from Kansas farms, fruits and vegetables in season and grain products made from Kansas wheat and sorghum are just a few of the many possibilities. Enjoy Kansas Agricultural Facts from Kansas Ag in the Classroom (http://ksagclassroom.org).
