The highlight of the program is tours with local ranchers and farmers so that teachers get a first-hand experience of agriculture.
The seminar started Monday at the Kern County Ag Pavilion. There were 44 teachers registered from Kern County.

The seminar is sponsored by the Kern County Cattlewomen, Kern County Farm Bureau, Kern County Water Agencies, Farm Credit West, the Lake Foundation and many other local businesses and agencies.
