Tractors into Schools campaign is back in Lincolnshire
It's to give children a better understanding of where food comes from
Children in Lincolnshire are swapping the playground for the tractor as part of the Tractors into Schools initiative.
Several schools are being visited by local farmers who will demonstrate the role of a tractor, and teach them about food and where it comes from.
It partners farmers with schools and helps build closer links between the two communities.
It's a chance to inspire young minds to the diverse and exciting careers available within the food and farming industry.
Mr Finch a teacher at Ermine Primary Academy School told us why they're taking part:
"Coming from a county like Lincolnshire, one of the biggest most prominent agricultural counties in the country it's so important they know that their home and where they come from plays such a pivotal role in where their food comes from - the food that goes on their plate where it's made.
"The children have been looking at two of the lambs, exploring where they come from, how old they are, what do they eat, what we use them for, talking about wool or sheep's milk
"We've also been exploring the foods that farmers produce every day, British grown vegetables like carrots and cauliflower. And also learning that not everything we have comes from this country.
Eleanor Hopper is a member of Wragby Young Farmers:
"It's all about educating younger people about where their food comes from and the process of how it gets from the field to your plate really.
"It's just showing them how the food is processed, how we can eat seasonally, and try not to import as much. As well as looking at the care of animals."
The initiative takes place between Monday 27th February and Friday 10th March 2023
