Perfect for homeschool families!

Join us for this special monthly youth education program about agriculture, presented by the Peoria County Farm Bureau. Each month will focus on a different topic.

Soil is not necessarily needed for growing a bountiful crop. In this lesson students will learn the history of hydroponics and the research agronomist are conducting to improve the process. They will identify 3 key nutrients that plants need and exactly how the plants use those nutrients to grow.  Students will investigate the importance of nutrients for plant growth by growing and observing plants in a 2-liter bottle hydroponic system.
