Kits have been a hallmark of the Vermilion County Ag in the Classroom program for over 10 years.
 There are nearly 60 kits of various types that cover a full gamut of farming and food topics.
Any Vermilion County classroom teacher can reserve these kits for use with their lesson plans.
 Our staff will deliver and pick them up for your check-out period.
