This is the 6th Annual Beginning Farmer and Rancher Symposium.

The Symposium begins at noon, and runs until 5. Understanding of SDSU class schedules, students are encouraged to come and go as their class schedules permit. There will be a keynote speaker, a finance panel, and a beginning producer panel throughout the day. Ice cream break and door prizes are also part of the Symposium.
