The Delaware Farm Bureau is proud to celebrate Ag Literacy Week from March 16 through 20, 2026, by sharing agriculturally accurate books with elementary students across the state.
Ag Literacy Week is a nationwide initiative designed to help children understand agriculture’s essential role in their daily lives. As part of the efforts, DEFB volunteers will visit classrooms to read selected books that highlight where food comes from and the importance of farmers to our communities.
DEFB encourages community members to support agricultural literacy by donating or promoting ag‑accurate books. A list of recommended books from the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture is available at agfoundation.org/books.
Educators interested in a DEFB volunteer to read an agriculturally accurate book in their classroom during Ag Literacy Week can contact Joseph Poppiti at joseph.poppiti@defb.org or visit https://defb.org/foundation/ag-literacy-week/.
