The North Carolina Chapter took a trip to Roxboro, North Carolina to check out Rogers Cattle Company. They pride theirselves on pasture-raised Red Angus cattle and hair sheep.

Brothers toured a miniature horse breeding farm in Clayton, North Carolina on Saturday, April 14th. 

Thanks to a gracious alumni, the North Carolina Chapter was able to complete another Preschool Ag Day at a different preschool in the community. 

We had the amazing opportunity to visit a local preschool and teach them about animal agriculture! The kids were ecstatic to pet the animals and learn about what they do for us.

Chico State Alpha Zeta participated in Ag Day at the University Farm by teaching over 100 local kindergarten students about the dairy industry.

The North Carolina Chapter of Alpha Zeta hosted Ag Awareness Week in the heart of NC State's campus to promote agriculture and education about the industry to the public. 

What I learned from Alpha Zeta was how to interact with colleagues from many different backgrounds. Although I re-entered college as an older student, learning to speak with others as an agricultural professional is an important skill that will serve you well in many different jobs in this industry."

We had a chance to chat with Cal Epsilon alumnus, Raymond Maestas! Raymond graduated from Fresno State with a Bachelor's Degree in Plant Science in 2007.

Members of the Virginia Chapter of Alpha Zeta celebrated National Agriculture Week with an agriculture pageant, fundraising, and outreach!

"Don't be discouraged by thinking there is too much to learn. It does take time but time goes by quickly. Be curious about things in your discipline that you don't yet know well."

We had the opportunity to speak with Cal Epsilon Alumnus and U.S. Army Veteran, Walter Bentley, who graduated from Fresno State in 1969 with a Bachelors in Plant Science and a minor in Biology. Since then, Bentley has made an impact in the field of Entomology and agriculture through the UC Cooperative Extension and more, including volunteering in the Philippines, Kosovo, and Guatemala.
