Educational Programs It’s A Maize-ing!

In this program, students will learn about the importance of corn, hogs, and starch in early Madison, Indiana. This 90-minute FREE program offers:

• A hands-on experience of “notching” a paper pig to show ownership of one of 200 registered hog owners in Jefferson County. 
• A lesson on the two main uses of corn starch (food and laundry/other) and making chocolate pudding with starch to show how starch molecules work.
• A lesson on how corn has been developed through the ages and its many uses.
• The book Lucky Year will be referenced.  Each teacher will receive a free copy after the program.

This program is geared toward third-grade students and is a great source of information prior to the Agricultural Day experience held in mid-September.
