College of Agriculture, Food Systems and Natural Resources names top seniors

The NDSU College of Agriculture, Food Systems and Natural Resources named its Top 10 seniors, and the student-led Agriculture Collective announced other awards to conclude Ag Week.

Because NDSU is teaching classes remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, most awards were announced on the NDSU Agriculture Collective Facebook page.
