Celebrating 25 Years of Ag in the Classroom

I was asked this Fall to speak at the 25th anniversary gala of the California Ag ifn the Classroom.  It was heald at the famous Cow Palace in the Bay Area.  The last time I was at the Cow Palace was to see Yes in the 1970s.  I have watched the California Ag in the Classroom grow over these past few decades.  Under the eye of Judy Culbertson, they have helped teach a whole new generation of young people about California agriculture, and the hard work that goes into providing us with some the best and safest produce found anywhere in the world.  In my comments that day, I thought I would focus on what the average produce department looked like 25 years ago.  You might be surprised to find what produce items we enjoy today, were not here 25 years ago.  You can catch a video of the speech at http://www.learnaboutag.org/conference/2011/video/?video=michaelmarks.  I even get to show off my Kiwifruit shirt.
