The Virginia Tech Agronomy Club constantly searches for new avenues to enhance our knowledge of the agronomy industry.  In an attempt to connect with the industry, the Virginia Tech Agronomy Club traveled for the first time to the Ag Expo held at Renwood Farms in Charles City County, Virginia on August 8, 2007.  The Ag Expo is an event held in Virginia every year for people involved in the field of agronomy.  This year's Ag Expo's theme was “Celebrating 400 Years of American Agriculture” making this an exceptional year for the club to attend.  At this event, there are exhibits, field plots highlighting corn and soybean varieties, plant population/density research, and antique corn varieties, and new equipment on display. From this, the members are able to obtain new information and apply knowledge gained from classes to real opportunities and situations.  For this event, the club created a display to demonstrate what the club does on a yearly bases and promote Virginia Tech students to employers.  In return for waving the fee for a display, the club ran gators with drinks to help cool patrons down and assisted with basic clean up after the event.  This opportunity brought the Agronomy Club together to accomplish the goal of making the Ag Expo a success.  With hard work, the Ag Expo will become a yearly event to expose the Virginia Tech Agronomy Club to the field of agronomy in Virginia and promote the club itself.
