The annual Ag Days event was held June 18th this year. Ag Days is unique in that the whole event is planned, set up, and ran by students. The purpose of Ag Days is to inform and educate more people, specifically college students, about the how they are impacted by agriculture— from the clothes we wear to the food we eat. The event also serves as a great recruiting tool to encourage more students to major in the field of plant science.
There was a great turnout this year— 2200+ people came to ride the tractor up the hill, see the animals and farm machinery, milk a cow, munch on ice cream, pancakes, french fries, and grapes, sow a few seeds, and learn a thing or two about the big world of agriculture. The planning committee did a great job this year as the day went smoothly and everything was set up on time.
