The Gallatin Valley Farm Fair completed its 15th year of educating now over 1,200 fourth-grade students from all around the Gallatin Valley about all aspects of agriculture. The Farm Fair is put on by the Brainard Ranch located outside of Manhattan, Montana.

The Gallatin Valley Agriculture Committee which is comprised of both the Bozeman and Belgrade Chambers of Commerce, help organize the event and recruit volunteers and presenters from around the valley.

Overall the fourth-grade students come visit the ranch over a span of 3 days and go through 17 different stations and are served a lunch out of the farm.

The 17 stations are as follows:

Forestry
Weeds
Dairy Cows
Beef Cattle
Horses
Potatoes
Goats
Crops
Pigs
4-H Club
Bees
Sheep
Water Cycle
Wheat
Farm Safety
Ice Cream
Wagon Ride

The Gallatin Valley Farm Fair is possible by a large number of company sponsors throughout the area and also from the numerous hours put in by volunteers to organize and operate the event to help make sure our youth stay educated about all areas of agriculture in Montana.

Montana Drone Company supports all youth events by offering services at reduced rates or even for free depending on how large the production entails.
