One hundred agriculture students from California, Oregon, and Nevada participated in this year's event, with Modesto Junior College winning the High Team Award. The addition of a junior division at this year's field day permitted participation by the State Champion 4-H and FFA teams from all three states. Community college and high school instructors were invited to attend this year's contest and an informative afternoon program. The field day concluded with an awards ceremony and barbecue at the Animal Science Teaching Facility.
Plans are already underway for the Agricultural Sciences Field Day scheduled for March 2, 1996. The Department and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences will host over 2,000 Future Farmers and 4-H'ers, who will participate in over 20 competitions and performances.
