Resources
Remember to use Control F to help find specific keywords on a electronic source (Mac users use Command F)

1. Required source: State Farm Facts through Agriculture in the Classroom
  • For the date of publication, go to the bottom of your page. It should give you a month (in number form) and year. Leave out the DAY in Noodletools, but fill in your month and year. e.g.: 7/10 would be July 2010​
  • Skip author, there is none listed
  • For article title, use: A Look at ___ Agriculture (fill in the name of your state)
  • For website title, use: National Agriculture in the Classroom
  • For publisher, use: Agriculture in the Classroom

2. Required source: State Fact Sheets provided by Economic Research Service 

3. Required source: National Association of State Departments of Agriculture 

4. To find your Agricultural college, Google "____ agricultural college" (fill the name of your state in the blank). You don't even have to go to the college's homepage - You just need the name of the college/university.
  • You also do not need to cite this because you are simply getting a college/university's name from the Google search results page.

5. Optional source: Need additional Ag related facts for your state? Try this website: Farm Flavor or you can Google for interesting agriculture facts about your state.
