Give an update on what Collegiate Farm Bureau has done on campus and what is coming up for the spring semester.<\/span><\/strong>
\nThis year we have nearly 80 members and our group has been quite busy. Whether it is connecting with industry professionals through farm tours, developing leadership skills through the Discussion Meet or helping the community by volunteering at White Pine Berry Farm, the UW-River Falls Collegiate Farm Bureau has made the most of every moment. Twenty-six of our members had the opportunity to attend the Young Farmer and Agriculturist Conference in December.<\/p>\nDuring the spring semester, we are ecstatic to bring many more opportunities to our members including speakers, tours and experiences through a variety of other avenues. We will be hosting our 11th<\/sup> Ag Day on Campus on April 18. We are excited to honor our agricultural traditions and look forward to a stronger, sustainable future with this year\u2019s theme of \u2018Deep Roots, Bright Future\u2019. Additionally, we are looking forward to Michelle Stangler representing Wisconsin in the National Collegiate Discussion Meet in March during the FUSION Conference in Jacksonville, Florida. We are delighted to have so many opportunities to connect, advocate and grow within the field of agriculture this year.<\/p>\n
