Sponsorship for the 2012 Outlook Forum Students
Thank you CHS, Inc., Farm Credit, and USDA’s Economic Research Service, Agricultural Research Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service, for your 2012 sponsorship.
USDA’s Outlook Forum Student Diversity Program is a sponsorship opportunity for agencies, corporations, and organizations. Sponsorship allows junior and senior students who represent the diversity of American agriculture to attend USDA’s annual Outlook Forum. It’s a unique opportunity for students to learn about agribusiness, the latest research, future trends, and policy in contemporary agriculture. In 2007, USDA launched the Diversity Program focused on students majoring in agriculture-related majors at Land Grant colleges and universities.
Where are previous Diversity Program Winners now?
