Rain not a problem for ag products
barbecue
By Riki Richards
September 24, 2007 | Rain did not deter crowds from
attending the annual agricultural products barbecue
Saturday.
The smell of cooking meat traveled all the way across
the Romney Stadium parking lot and got continually stronger
the closer one traveled toward the practice field west
of the Stan Laub Center.
The shuttle that hauled the guests from the Student
Wellness Center to the field was cleverly disguised
as a hay ride. Tractors driven by students in the Ag
Technology Club pulled wagons lined with bales of straw
for practical seating.
The food included beef, pork, lamb, turkey, onion
rings and much more. All of the food was provided and
prepared by commodity groups including the Utah Pork
Producers, Dairy Farmers of America and Norbest Turkeys.
Each commodity group had its own tent to combat the
moist conditions.
The barbecue was the kickoff for Ag Week at USU. According
to Lisa Allen, assistant to the associate dean of the
College of Argiculture, the ticket sales have not yet
been calculated so at the time of publication there
was no hard count of how many people attended.
