POETRY IN AGRICULTURAL

COMMUNICATIONS

In honor of National Poetry Month this April, the Agricultural Communications Documentation Center (ACDC) presents a digital exhibit centered around poetry in agriculture. Poets throughout the ages have been inspired by nature. It is no wonder, then, that agricultural communications has a lyrical side. The following poems and images represent items in ACDC’s Volume One Number One (V1N1) collection.
