Calling All College "Aggies"

I was reading a blog post by Troy Hadrick, Advocates for Agriculture, and saw this interesting story about a forum for college students interested in agriculture:

The Animal Agriculture Alliance has announced the re-launch of College Aggies Online, a program developed in partnership with the American National CattleWomen Inc. to help today’s college students become confident advocates for the agriculture industry.”

“Last year, 350 students representing 50 universities shared their stories on the College Aggies Online network,” said Alliance Executive Vice President Kay Johnson Smith. “Students who participate in the program do more than just build their resume – they help ensure the future of American agriculture.”

Students with a passion for agriculture are encouraged to sign up at http://aggiesonline.ning.com. After creating a personal profile on the network, members will gain access to a private forum where they can discuss current and emerging issues facing farmers and ranchers with other young agriculturists from across the country.
The online community will provide resources to help students better utilize social media tools such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to share agriculture’s story with the public. Source: College students – Agriculture needs your voice! | Drovers.com – Industry News
