Agricultural Entrepreneur B.J. Brugman (’12 agricultural business) shared the story of his startup agtech business, Sentinel, with the fifty-five students in ECON 334, and did so from Lyon, France. Brugman explained to students that he splits his time between Ames, where Sentinel is headquartered, and Lyon, where his wife is on assignment with Bayer.
March 25 was scheduled as a guest-day for ECON 334/Entrepreneurship in Agriculture, part of a regular dose of guest agricultural entrepreneurs that speak to students over the course of the semester in the classroom in Kildee Hall.
What to do when the class moves to virtual and the guest is in France? Adapt!
