AFGC 2022

At the beginning of January, I had the awesome opportunity to attend the American Forage and Grassland Council Conference in Wichita, Kansas. I was able to travel to Kanas with my teammates Jessica and Emily, with our coach Dr. Keith Johnson. While in Kansas, we competed in the Forage Bowl Competition. The Forage Bowl is a knowledge based contest with a Jeopardy format. Topic of knowledge included AFGC history, plant ID, grazing management, and much more! In addition to competition, we were able to attend numerous educational workshops and seminars, network with industry professionals from all over the country, make new friends, and explore a new city. My favorite speaker/workshop was a luncheon with the Kansas Secretary of Agriculture. In our spare time, we were able to participate in a forage themed scavenger hunt, that we won! 

My team and I were blessed to bring home 2nd place in the forage bowl contest. My team and I would like to give a special thank you to the Indiana Forage Council for sponsoring our contest shirt and their support at the contest!
