Fourth grade students from Pinckney School reach to pet a Jersey dairy cow at the Slice of Ag day at the Douglas County Fairgrounds Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012. From left are Bella Crawford-Parker, Tatiana Green, Mina Dailey and Eli Cohavi. Fourth graders from across Lawrence learned about farm animals, produce and equipment at the annual educational event.

From petting a calf to climbing into the cab of an $82,000 John Deere tractor, fourth-graders got a taste of farm life Thursday morning at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
