Welcome!

I would like to welcome you to my blog for the 2008 Farm Progress Show! I have been given a great opportunity by Monsanto to see the inner-workings of one of America's favorite farm shows. I will be attending all 3 days of the show visiting various booths, shows, events, and displays in order to bring you up-to-date on the happenings at the Farm Progress Show. Check daily for new information, pictures, and even videos!

Monsanto donates $1 million to Iowa State University




At 5:00 pm today a very exciting announcement was made inside of the Iowa State University tent. Monsanto has donated $1 million to Iowa State University for renovations of Curtiss Hall. And anyone who has been in Curtiss Hall recently will welcome the renovations. Trust me, as an Ag Ed major, I have been in there plenty enough to know the significance of this donation.

Remodeling will begin in 2009 and will reshape the atrium on the ground floor wing of the building, creating a mall-type atmosphere for all student ag services.


"Currently, students have to trek all over for student services. Now, they will all be located together including career services, ag study abroad, and various other programs making it more convenient for students and staff all together," said Mike Gaul, Iowa State University Career Services.
