As the state's land-grant university, NDSU plays a major role in contributing knowledge through research, academic programs and the Extension Service. More than 2,700 agriculturists have been recognized and more than $130,000 in scholarships have been awarded to NDSU student athletes who are studying agriculture, business or premed and come from an agricultural background.
Lynden Johnson, executive vice president of CHS Country Operations, a Fortune 100 company, will receive the 2015 Agribusiness Award, which recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves in the field of agriculture and business.
The NDSU Harvest Bowl program also recognizes outstanding agriculturists in 53 counties in North Dakota and several counties in Minnesota.
