showcasing agriculture
Bringing the farm to the city
FCS Financial sponsored the Youth Zone during FarmScape at St. Louis Ballpark Village on September 12.
FarmScape, hosted by the Missouri Department of Agriculture, brought the farm to downtown St. Louis. The area
of Ballpark Village next to Busch Stadium was transformed into a showcase of Missouri agriculture.
FarmScape gave visitors a chance to escape to the farm. Farm animals, tractors, a bountiful display of Missouri
fruits and vegetables and live crops were on display to introduce farm life to Missourians. Providing a glimpse
of the life of a livestock farmer, the Livestock Barn included beef and dairy cows, sheep, goats, pigs, horses and
chickens. The FCS Financial Youth Zone provided entertainment for children with interactive and educational
stations including a sandbox with corn and soybeans, face painting, a coloring station and calf roping. An evening
concert featured country artist Neal McCoy on the Busch II Infield Stage.
