American Forage and Grassland Council National Forage Bowl Sponsorship The American Forage and Grassland Council (AFGC) is committed to being the leader and voice of economically and environmentally sound forage focused agriculture. One major way to reach this goal is with education about the impact of forages on the U.S. economy and the environment. AFGC has several initiatives in place to reach the forage industry and is working to extend that momentum to young people planning or considering a career in forages. We hope to build upon their undergraduate and graduate education by engaging them within the organization and the industry. In working to expand the reach, AFGC offers several youth events in connection with the annual AFGC conference including the National Forage Bowl. The National Forage Bowl Competition is an undergraduate team competition. The format is similar to the popular game show Jeopardy; categories cover all aspects of forage production and management. A National Forage Bowl Cup is presented to the winning team to be displayed for the year on campus with the right to defend the Cup the following year. This is an excellent opportunity to get students from across the United States involved with a forage focused organization, to network with fellow students, to meet with forage leaders, and to learn about career opportunities in the forage industry. AFGC is currently accepting sponsorships, to assist with team travel and participation, for the 2016 National Forage Bowl to be held January 23, 2017 at the Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center in Roanoke, Virginia.
