Spending a day on a farm is a great opportunity for those who live in urban areas to experience a lifestyle different from their own. There is one club at Dickinson State University (DSU) that brings the farm life to the city: the Agriculture Club. For the last 31 years, the Agriculture Club has hosted a free event, Kids Day on the Farm, at DSU’s indoor arena. During this event, members of the Agriculture Club share their knowledge with children from Dickinson and the surrounding communities and hope to pique their interest in the subject.
