  • Agricultural Business Club Wins Top Awards

    The Iowa State Agricultural Business Club was named Outstanding Chapter at the annual meeting of the American Agricultural Economics Association held last month, the seventh time since 1992. The award is based on the total program of activities carried out by the club. The Ag Business Club also won the first place award for the best creative idea, achieving a sweep of the two top club awards presented. The Creative Club contest began in 2000 and the club has now won it five of the seven years it has been awarded. It was the third time the club won both the outstanding chapter and creative awards. The Creative Club Idea award this year was for the club's version of the "Wheel of Fortune Game" to encourage member attendance. The club president is Devin Mogler, a junior in agricultural business. The club advisers are Ron Deiter and William Edwards, economics.
