Every year, hundreds of Missouri high school students travel across the state to attend Bradford Research Farm at the University of Missouri in Columbia. They learn about agriculture in its many aspects — technology, livestock, conservation and agronomy. They begin early in the morning, take a break for lunch, and finish up early in the afternoon. This event not only promotes the university, it promotes Missouri agriculture in an effective way — through interested youth.
