The 61st annual Agricultural Technology Expo is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the agricultural and biosystems engineering building.
"Fueling Technology" is the theme for the one-day event, which allows students to display new technology in agriculture and engineering. It also is an opportunity for the public to attend and gain an understanding of agriculture and related technology. A student management team, assisted by a faculty adviser, is responsible for organizing the expo.
More than $1,000 in scholarships will be awarded to the top project winners in the five divisions of power; machinery; structures, electrical power and processing; soil, water and environment; and precision agriculture.
Examples of presentations include methane as a fuel source, efficient grain handling, field mapping methods, precision fertilizer application, potato planter modification and quarter-scale tractor design.
The expo is free and open to the public.
