Farm
Facts Pencils
Along with
the other new Farm Facts materials, the Foundation has developed
pencils with "Farm Facts" printed on the pencil. Each
pencil is imprinted with one of ten facts taken from the Farm
Facts booklet. The facts included on the pencils are:
- "One
American farmer feeds 144 people."
- "99
percent of all U.S. farms and ranches are family farms and ranches."
- "Family
farms and ranches in the U.S. produce 94 percent of all agriculture
sales."
- "Food
is most affordable in the United States."
- "One
of every six U.S. jobs is directly related to agriculture."
- "The
U.S. has 2.14 million farms and ranches."
- "Almost
$60 Billion of American agricultural products are exported."
- "One
of every 10 rows of corn becomes ethanol."
- "92
percent of young farmers and ranchers use computers."
- "America's
farms and ranches make up almost a billion acres of land."
Great for fairs
and teacher conference giveaways, these are available in boxes of
144 pencils, each box contains 6 mixed colors and 10 sayings for
$22.00. The pencils are red, white, black, yellow, blue and green.
To keep costs as economical as possible single pencils are not available.
Traditional Educating About Agriculture pencils are also available
and can be purchased in quantities less than a box.
