The opportunity to talk with colleges on site at the National FFA Convention & Expo each year is one of the highlights of the event for young people. This year, AGDAILY spoke with folks at 10 schools to hear what their advice was for students who wanted to pursue ag degrees. While there was a clear theme of encouraging openness and involvement from those interested in ag, their answers did vary.
We tweeted out their responses on the @AGDAILYMedia account, but here you can take a look at them in one spot.
