The event is a three-day celebration of rural living, agribusiness, health, innovation, and technology.
With more than 900 exhibit booths and training sessions, there were many connections available for the students. They were accompanied by Mayville State University Associate Professor of Biology and Agribusiness Dr. Michael Kjelland along with Assistant Professor of Biology and Agribusiness Jeff Hovde.
The Mayville State group was given the opportunity to join Scott Hennen’s radio broadcast on “The Flag.” They discussed the Mayville State Agribusiness program. Along with this, students were given the opportunity to speak to individuals from the Red River Farm Network.
