Conference: Students of Agronomy, Soil and Environmental Sciences

The Iowa State Agronomy Club invites you and your college to join us for what will be an amazing conference on March 23 and 24, 2012. Our club, as well as other students in agronomy, crop science, environmental science and related majors from all across North America will be converging on Iowa State University in Ames, IA to interact with peers and industry representatives in our area of study.

The event, called the SASES Regional Meetings, is sponsored by the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America & Soil Science Society of America’s student organization called SASES – Students of Agronomy, Soil and Environmental Sciences. Those attending the Regionals have the opportunity to experience the agricultural industry in a new area of the country, meet with potential employers at our industry networking event and make friendships with students of similar interests from all around the United States through two social events.

The biggest portion of the event includes the industry tours which set out across the state of Iowa to visit various agriculture businesses. Iowa’s agricultural industry ranks 1st in the nation in corn and soybean production, boast some of the most productive land in the world and produces 25% of the country's supply of ethanol. Some of the tours will include alternative energy production such as wind and biofuels, facilities of some of the nation’s largest seed companies, livestock farms and even a winery.

No SASES club membership is needed to attend this event as we invite students in any related majors. Registration for this event is just $20 per person and includes meals and a t-shirt.  For more information and to register, please visit us online at www.SASESRegionals.com.

The deadline is fast approaching - Feb 24, 2012. If you are interested in attending the event, but need more time to register, please contact Rachel Owen at rkowen@iastate.edu.
