STARKVILLE, Miss.(WCBI) — It’s that time of the year again for the annual Future of Agriculture Graduate Student Speaking Competition.

At Bost Extension Center on the MSU Campus close to 40 masters and doctoral degree students working in production agriculture got a chance to elaborate on technical research results breaking it down to an understandable level. The competition is judged and awards are given at the end of the day.

“In addition to letting them compete and present their research results, is for them to highlight themselves to the companies you know that’s potential future employers,” said Jason Bond/MSU Weed Scientist.

“I get to come to this competition, I get to learn about weed control. I get to learn about insect control, I get to learn about environmental impacts on Agriculture,” said Hunter Perry/Dow Agrosciences.

This is the third year for MSU Students and judges to participate in the graduate student speaking competition.
