Farm Credit of the Virginias (FCV) donated more than 400 books to elementary school classrooms and libraries across their tristate territory in celebration of Agriculture (Ag) Literacy Week. During Ag Literacy Week (March 23-27), team members joined more than 120 classrooms to read the story and lead activities to help more than 2,000 students and educators gain a greater awareness and understanding of agriculture.
Ag Literacy Week is a yearly observance in March organized by Virginia Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) in which a book is selected and volunteers from agricultural organizations and businesses across the state donate copies of the story to local classrooms, volunteer to read the story and lead activities with students. The 2026 Virginia AITC book of the year was Farm Boots by Lisl H. Detlefsen, featuring a diverse cast of families as they work together to care for crops and animals on their farms through spring, summer, fall and winter, wearing many types of boots to get the job done.
