The South Dakota Beef Industry Council (SDBIC) shared industry insights and answered questions with FFA students from across the state as they gathered in Brookings on the South Dakota State University campus for their annual convention April 15-17, 2018. One of the highlights of the convention is their Career Carnival (April 16) in which approximately 500 FFA students stopped by the SDBIC booth. Suzy Geppert, executive director and Darcy Krick, industry relations played a beef trivia game, talked about the industry and careers in it, and shared general beef information with the students.
#SDNextGenAg provided a great platform in which to expand the leadership message. Throughout the week, the beef council highlighted individual future agriculture leaders with #SDNextGenAg. The hashtag was used to promote local FFA student videos, quotes and photos of younger generations of agriculturalists and highlight the impact of the beef industry on their future careers.
