The 74th annual Agricultural Technology Exposition is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 12, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in NDSU’s Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Building. The title of this year’s expo is “Innovation in Agriculture.”

Each student who graduates with a degree in agricultural systems management, agricultural and biosystems engineering or precision agriculture is required to present on a topic related to technology within the agriculture industry.

The Agricultural Technology Expo began in 1948 and is sponsored by the student branch of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers and the Agricultural Systems Management Club. It is the largest student activity in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.

More than $1,000 in scholarships are typically awarded during the event. Scholarships include Grand Champion project, division winners, Best Freshman project and a People's Choice award. Prizes also are given for the top projects in each division.

The event is open to the public, and attendees are encouraged to vote for their favorite projects.

As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
