Baton Rouge, La. – The Southern University Ag Center will host the St. Helena Parish Ag Day on June 7 at the Fifth Ward Recreation Center, 31676 Hwy. 16, in Amite, Louisiana.

The Ag Day will include farm tours, a petting zoo, interactive workshops on vertical gardening and edible landscapes.

There will also be hands-on demonstrations on:

·         Raising Backyard Poultry
·         Hibiscus Transplanting
·         Building a Hydroponic System

“This event is being held so farmers can showcase the activities on their farms and for the kids to see what actually happens on a farm, where their food comes from and the process involved in growing food,” said Burnell Muse, SU Ag Center Extension Agent and Event Coordinator.

The Ag Day is co-sponsored by the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Program and the LSU AgCenter.
