Food for Thought (4th Edition) is a set of 18 Minnesota academic standards-based K-12 lessons and maps. This unique classroom resource is the result of a long-standing working relationship between the Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation and Program and the Minnesota Alliance for Geographic Education (MAGE). MAGE support allows access to this curriculum FREE of charge.
These lessons provide a wide breadth of content and companion maps with the goal inspiring interest in the geography of Minnesota agriculture and enrich the classroom learning experience. These lessons and maps are designed to enable students and others to locate themselves amidst the grand mosaic of fields, ethanol plants, roads and food processing facilities found across Minnesota. It is our hope that this curriculum will create a sense of connection between Minnesota residents and those engaged in agriculture.
The bond between agriculture and geography is evident in the academic standards for social studies, specifically geography. Food for Thought boasts agricultural-related benchmarks for all grades. These lessons support the expectation of students to be able to use maps to understand regions, analyze contemporary lifestyles and make informed locational decisions.
The entire 4th Edition of Food for Thought is available online and the 18 lesson Teacher Guide is also available in hard copy. A Minnesota Ag in the Classroom hard copy book can also be ordered. The full menu (44 maps) of companion maps is available in both full color and black and white versions. The curriculum includes 44 printable (PDF) maps and online interactive maps.

Minnesota's original public land survey plat maps were created between 1848 and 1907 during the first government land survey of the state by the U.S. Surveyor General's Office. This collection of more than 3,600 maps includes later General Land Office (GLO) and Bureau of Land Management maps up through 2001. Scanned images of the maps are available in several digital formats and most have been georeferenced.
The survey plat maps, and the accompanying survey field notes, serve as the fundamental legal records for real estate in Minnesota; all property titles and descriptions stem from them. They also are an essential resource for surveyors and provide a record of the state's physical geography prior to European settlement. Finally, they testify to many years of hard work by the surveying community, often under very challenging conditions.
The deteriorating physical condition of the older maps (drawn on paper, linen, and other similar materials) and the need to provide wider public access to the maps, made handling the original records increasingly impractical. To meet this challenge, the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS), the State Archives of the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS), the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), MnGeo and the Minnesota Association of County Surveyors collaborated in a digitization project which produced high quality (800 dpi), 24-bit color images of the maps in standard TIFF, JPEG and PDF formats - nearly 1.5 terabytes of data. Funding was provided by MnDOT.
In 2010-11, most of the JPEG plat map images were georeferenced. The intent was to locate the plat images to coincide with statewide geographic data without appreciably altering (warping) the image. This increases the value of the images in mapping software where they can be used as a background layer.
