MU Agronomy Club members attended the Students of Agronomy, Soils, and Environmental Sciences (SASES) Annual Meeting in St. Louis, where they competed in a variety of activities and competitions.

The club won third place in the student poster competition, with a poster that highlighted the club’s community service project of growing pink pumpkins to raise money for breast cancer awareness. The poster was presented by William Lee, club president and plant sciences senior, and Felicity Guttman, one of the club’s vice presidents and plant sciences junior. A group of MU Agronomy Club members also participated in a crop judging competition.

SASES is the undergraduate program of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA) and Soil Science Society of America (SSSA). To learn more or get involved in the MU Agronomy Club, contact president William Lee at walf5b@mail.missouri.edu
