MARYVILLE, Mo. – More than 1,200 students from 55 northwest Missouri high schools took part in an Agricultural content at Northwest Missouri State University.
They competed March 31 and April 1 in Northwest District Agriculture Career Development Events hosted by Northwest’s Department of Agricultural Sciences.
The annual contest is coordinated and facilitated by members of the Northwest agricultural sciences faculty, staff and students. Events take place on the Northwest campus, the R.T. Wright University Farm, the Maryville Community Center and the Ed Phillips Memorial Arena.
“The success of this huge undertaking is due to the excellent work of Northwest faculty and staff, district agriculture teachers, Northwest students and members of the Maryville community,” said Eric Weuve, program coordinator for agricultural education and an instructor in Northwest’s Department of Agricultural Sciences.
