Teaching children about soybeans

Through special effects and buttons and cranks, a new exhibit, “Soybeans: Growing Food, Growing World,” located at Lincoln Park Zoo’s Farm-in-the-Zoo Presented by John Deere will provide children with a unique opportunity to learn about soybeans, from the planting, growing and harvesting stages of production. The exhibit was developed by the Illinois Soybean Association and the United Soybean Board using soybean checkoff dollars.
