Ag Games...


Bet the Farm!

This is a really neat FREE game that can you can use up a few minutes at the end of class. I just found it yesterday an didn't realize how additve it can be- so be careful!! The direction are pretty simple. It gives a realistic approach to farming. You start with 2 million dollars and you are lucky to break even. The interactive game allows you to make choices as how you want to farm (what you want to farm, technology, how much you want to forward contract, etc).

Another favorite of mind is the tractor pulling game... (you have to scrowl down a bit.

This great, I only played it a couple of times but I can see it really coming handyto make the kids think about decisions that they make. I can't wait to use it.
