Ever wondered what it would be like to live on a farm in Iowa? Ever wondered how farmers make their decisions on running a successful operation?
Here's your chance to find out! The ISU Agricultural Endowment and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences are proud to sponsor the tenth Agriculture Weekend Experience (AWE). This weekend experience with a host Iowa farm family is free to College of Agriculture and Life Sciences students and includes transportation, lodging and meals for a weekend. Participants will tour local Iowa agricultural businesses (including a dairy farm, cattle feedlot, ethanol plant and more) while staying on a host family’s farm and learning more about their farming activities. Whether you have had experience on a farm or not, you have not experienced everything that is scheduled for AWE.
Applications are due Wednesday, September 25, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. The 2013 AWE program is scheduled to depart campus the afternoon of Friday, October 11, and to return the afternoon of Sunday, October 13. An orientation session tentatively is scheduled for Tuesday, October 8.
For more information about the program or for an application, contact Christina Riessen, AWE program coordinator, by emailing criessen@iastate.edu , by calling 515-294-4319, or by stopping by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Communications Service office in Room 304, Curtiss Hall.
