In accordance with Texas Education Code, §29.926, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) provides a free elementary agriculture education program to improve students’ understanding of agriculture.

The agriculture education program for kindergarten–grade 5 is organized around three themes:

  • Agriculture and Natural Resources
  • Food, Fiber, and Fuel

These free resources and TEKS alignment charts support classroom learning activities in agriculture related to the TEKS in:
