The 61st annual Agricultural Technology Expo is scheduled for
Saturday, Feb. 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the agricultural and
biosystems engineering building.
"Fueling Technology" is the theme for the one-day event, which
allows students to display new technology in agriculture and
engineering. It also is an opportunity for the public to attend
and gain an understanding of agriculture and related technology.
A student management team, assisted by a faculty adviser, is
responsible for organizing the expo.
More than $1,000 in scholarships will be awarded to the top
project winners in the five divisions of power; machinery;
structures, electrical power and processing; soil, water and
environment; and precision agriculture.
Examples of presentations include methane as a fuel source,
efficient grain handling, field mapping methods, precision
fertilizer application, potato planter modification and
quarter-scale tractor design.
The expo is free and open to the public.
