Creating a Classroom for Agriculture
Corporate and community volunteers metro-wide will have fun in the fields and help combat food insecurity this July at the 2022 Amaizing Sweet Corn Glean-A-Thon and Sweet Corn Festival. Over the course of two weeks in mid-July, competing teams will have a three-hour window to harvest as much sweet corn as possible. The competition will culminate in a Sweet Corn Festival on July 30 at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame. Learn more about entering a team for the harvest fun and the Sweet Corn Festival here.
