Barnyard Chronicles
Why do pigs roll in the mud? How long does it take for milk to go from cow to grocery aisle? What’s it like growing up on a farm? These are just a few of the questions answered by the learning tools, videos, fact sheets and games available on the Barnyard Chronicles website.
The site offers games and quizzes where kids from urban areas can learn about Indiana farm life, animals and agriculture, meet real kids growing up on farms and discover that kids who grow up on farms are no different from city kids.
For grown-ups, Barnyard Chronicles offers recipes from the farm, health and nutrition information, along with discussions about agricultural hot topics such as antibiotics in pork and hormone-free eggs. Teachers will also find lesson plans and classroom activity ideas to help teach their students about Indiana agriculture.

My Indiana Home is produced for Indiana Farm Bureau members. Our mission is to connect you with the food you eat, the Indiana farmers who grow it and a rural lifestyle that is uniquely Hoosier.
