On March 11-14, 2015, the members of the BYU-Idaho Post-Secondary Agriculture Society (PAS) traveled to Boise, Idaho for the National Convention. The purpose of this convention is to bring students from across the country together to learn more about agriculture, and how we can be better advocates. While there, the students attended many workshops ranging from finance to organic farming. They also competed in a number of contests. Those included: prepared speaking, impromptu speaking, agriculture sales, career planning, job interview, beef production, college bowl, and soils. The students represented very well, with almost all of the students bringing home either a first or second place award from their respective contests. The students that participated were:
