University of Minnesota Athletics
The University's College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS), Gopher Sports Properties, University of Minnesota Athletics and a collection of agribusinesses from throughout the state will be joining forces to hold the seventh annual Celebrate Ag and Food Day.
The agriculture and food industries are important engines to Minnesota's economy and that is reflected within the Twin Cities culture and the University's metropolitan campus. Celebrate Ag and Food Day will put the spotlight on these industries.
Thank you to Presenting Partners: Land O'Lakes, Compeer Financial Services, Bayer Crop Science and CHS. Participating partners include: MN Corn Growers, Baldwin Supply, and Midwest Dairy Farmers. Supporting partners include: Agco, MN Pork Board, Hormel, Smude's, MN Farm Bureau, Christensen Farms, MN Turkey Growers, AgCountry Farm Credit Services, MN FFA Foundation and Brownfield.
Careers in the agriculture and food industries, from current students aspiring to those fields and alumni currently in those roles, will also be at the forefront. Students and local corporations will have a chance to connect and engage with one another.
Join us in the Gopher Garden on Oak Street outside of 3M Arena at Mariucci starting three hours before kickoff for tailgate activities, free samples and more! New in 2019, fans who visit the Gopher Garden before the game will receive a “passport” that lists out the different organizations displaying in Gopher Garden as part of Celebrate Ag & Food Day. Fans that complete their passport by visiting each booth can redeem it to receive a prize courtesy of Gopher Athletics* and be entered for the chance to win two tickets to the next home game.
