Connecting Youth to Agriculture!

The Buccaneer Commission is proud to introduce the first annual Buc Days Ag & Industry Awareness Days presented by ExxonMobil Foundation in conjunction with Nueces County Extension Agency. This two-day event will teach over 1,000 third graders from all around the Coastal Bend about agriculture and various industry jobs.

About the event:

This hands-on educational approach brings the world of agriculture, animal production, and food production to kids. They are separated into groups within their schools and will move station to station, each highlighting a different topic relating to industry or agriculture.

Alongside all of the educational stations, the students will be able to watch the Racing Pigs presented by Chick-fil-A, enjoy an interactive petting zoo, and much more! Below are some examples of the different stations that the students will participating in:

  • Gulf Coast Growth Ventures Plastics Production
