The ASU-Beebe agriculture department will celebrate Ag Day on Wednesday, Feb. 22, with more than 2,000 students from across the state expected to attend.
Students and advisors attending represent high school chapters of Future Farmers of America (FFA), a national student agricultural organization.
Since 1956, high school agriculture students have attended Ag Day at ASU-Beebe. Within the last 50 years, attendance has nearly doubled with approximately 1,200 students attending in 1972 and more than 2,100 attending in 2019.
Students will also have the opportunity to attend a preview of areas of study offered at ASU-Beebe, which will be held in the Centennial Bank Gymnasium prior to the Ag Day events.
Campus-wide contests will include skilled competitions in agriculture areas such as ag communications, agronomy, dairy foods, electricity, farm business management, floriculture, land, equine, poultry, livestock, mechanics and veterinary science.
