Ag Videos

I am a new teacher in a new program and I was wondering where is a good resource to get Ag related videos? I realized this is open ended, but I have none! I thinkd it would be nice to have a selection of videos/dvds around for teaching variety, or as a good lesson for a sub. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Re: Ag Videos

Find CEV online and get one of their catalogs.

Re: Ag Videos

Great question! My favorite videos have come from the History and Discovery Channel. If you go to each of those websites they have a store where you can order or you may request a catalog as well. I highly recommend the Blue Planet series, Planet Earth series, and Life of Mammals series from the Discovery Channel. Also the Discovery Channel Dirtiest Job series is great for careers. Any of the Modern Marvels from the History Channel relating to ag are phenomenal. There are titles on Harvesting Equipment, Farming Technology, Ranches, Commercial Fishing, Taxidermy, Logging, and George Washington Carver, and The Butcher. I use all of these way more than any other videos I own. Plus if you work at it for a few months you can tape them directly off the TV instead of buying them.

Re: Ag Videos

I agree with the History Channel & Discovery Channel suggestion; there was a great show just on called the History of the Pig; it comes up for sale in January. My students also love Dirty Jobs, and 3/4 of those episodes relate directly to agriculture, and Mike Rowe is really entertaining! It's also been fun because on some of the episodes that relate back to our community, we've actually gone out and done the dirty job after watching the movie!

Re: Ag Videos

If you have access to dish or direct tv you can watch several educational programs dealing with all types of agriculture on RFD-TV. Also, visit www.farmvideos.com this site has several videos you can purchase.

Re: Ag Videos

The best thing about the videos from the history channel is they are very cheap as compared to most educational videos. Cost usually run around 24.95 per DVD. The kids love them which means they will actually watch them and learn.

Re: Ag Videos

I also use a lot of material off of the history channel. If you sign up at their website, they will send you weekly programming information and sales that are going on at the web store. They are very reliable for quick shipping, but they also have free shipping deals quite often.

The CEV videos are good too, but many are beginning to be outdated and they are terribly expensive.

Re: Ag Videos

Thank you to everyone that has posted!! I got a collection of Dirty jobs and we have watched a couple in class, and the kids do love them!! I also got lucky and taped a neat Modern Marvels about Dairy last week. The CEV videos are the exact ones I was looking for (used them when I student taught), but I had no idea that they would be so expensive for such a short video!! I may get a few with next year's budget, but it just was not going to happen this year! Again, thanks for all of the advice!!!

Re: Ag Videos

I taped that Modern Marvel episode a couple weeks ago about Dairy...it was great!! I agree about CEV videos being great resources in the classroom, but often too expensive and not very lengthy! Three videos I have obtained from them that are excellent and I would recommend to ANYONE...are the DVDs and worksheet resources they produce for the EXCEL meat fabricating and slaughtering as well as the ruminant digestive system DVDs. They ARE GREAT!!!!!

Has anyone identified any resources from HGTV for landscaping?

Re: Ag Videos

I used "Ground Breakers". It usually comes on Saturday morning. They usually go all the way through a project and include discussion with the landscape designers. "Gardening by the Yard" is also a good resource. The guy that host this show is kind of corny but he has some good stuff. It isn't completely about landscaping but it does some times have topics related to it. It usually comes on after Ground Breakers so you can record them back to back.
