• Kid's Field Day
  The site was developed by Jim Shroyer, a crops specialist with Kansas State University Research and Extension. Shroyer said, "My goal was to make sure
  non-agricultural people realize that there's more to agriculture than meets the eye. There's a lot of science that goes into making a box of Cheerios or Wheaties."
