A student from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls competed this week in the American Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers Virtual Collegiate Discussion Meet, held in conjunction with the group's online FUSION Conference.
Jared Mack of Menomonie, who qualified for the national competition upon winning the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Collegiate Discussion Meet last fall, participated in the event using web conferencing. Contestants are judged on their ability to exchange ideas and information on an agricultural topic and find answers or solutions related to it.
Mack is a junior majoring in agriculture education and minoring in agribusiness. He served as a state FFA officer last year and plans to teach agriculture upon graduation.
The YF&R program includes men and women between the ages of 18 and 35.
