Fifty high school freshmen, sophomores and juniors will be chosen through a competitive process to spend two weeks on a college campus for an introduction to agriculture as well as hands-on learning via the ExploreAg program. Internationally known teachers, scientists and researchers will expose them to food science, precision agriculture, animal science, natural resources, management skills, technology and agricultural business. Along with classroom experience, the students will participate in field experiences that highlight cutting-edge research and will interact with industry partners to learn about possible careers in related fields.
