UWRF Collegiate Farm Bureau to Host Ag Day
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 04/17/2017

The University of Wisconsin-River Falls Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter will host its fifth annual Ag Day on Campus this week. The event will be held April 18 as a way to promote Wisconsin agriculture.

Student organizations in the UWRF's College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, along with local agricultural businesses, will have educational and interactive booths set up outside the University Center in the middle of campus. A beef sandwich meal will also be served at 5:30 p.m. in the Agriculture Science building, followed by a presentation by Donna Moenning of The Center for Food Integrity.

"Agriculture is a vast industry, it's important that consumers have a trusted farmer or agriculturalist they can turn to when see that questionable video pops up on their social media feed or they hear about a farming practice they aren't so sure about," said Event Coordinator Ashley Bergsbaken.

Non-agricultural students, faculty and community members are invited to attend the day's festivities. The event is free and open to the public.

The UW-River Falls Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter was first established on campus in April 2012 and is associated with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.
