Agriculture Education is an important subject for students, especially in central Illinois.

Henry Craft 4-H Youth Development Educator with the U of I Extension for DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties explains he works in the classroom with teachers and students. 

Craft says part of his job is going into the classroom and exposing kids to 4-H, and expanding on the notions the students may or may not already have about it. 

Craft describes getting his programs into schools as an adventure. Many of the programs are made for specific interests, which can be a challenge. He says he reaches out to principals, teachers, and admins to make that connection.
