The FARM Theory Hosts Inaugural Event, 'Surviving Without Ag?'

The FARM Theory Hosts Inaugural Event, 'Surviving Without Ag?'
The FARM Theory will host "Surviving Without Ag?" on Feb. 28 and March 1. Oklahoma State University's new agriculture advocacy group will host its inaugural event to educate students, faculty and staff on the impact agriculture has on everyday life.


The event will take place, just north of the Classroom Building near library lawn and will focus on educating consumers about agricultural practices. Members of The FARM Theory and Oklahoma Collegiate Cattlemen and Cattlewomen's Association will grill samples of pork and chicken to distribute to people on campus. There will also be an exhibit of different items which contain animal by-products.


"It is our goal to be a voice for agriculture on Oklahoma State's campus," animal science and agricultural communications senior, Tasha Dove, said. "This event will highlight just how important agriculture products are to each one of us."


FARM stands for the "Future of America Relies on Me." The idea for the FARM Theory originated from an advocacy course OSU's animal science department offers each spring. Students in this class get to interact with world leaders in the agriculture field and learn how to promote agriculture in a positive way. Encouraged by faculty, students began working together to create a coalition on campus to educate fellow students, faculty and staff on the importance of agriculture.


In January, these students formed The FARM Theory and began planning "Surviving Without Ag?" as a kick-off event for their group.


"It is exciting to have an organization such as The FARM Theory on campus," animal science senior, Emily Bardot, said. "It is important for agriculturalists to tell their story. The FARM Theory is something students can be involved with while they are at school to promote this industry."


The FARM Theory hopes to expand and have branches at other colleges and universities across the nation. The ultimate goal of this group is to educate consumers on agricultural practices and serve as a credible source of information.
