Are you an 'Ag'vocate?

We are excited to invite you to participate in the new College Aggies Online program, a joint initiative of the Animal Agriculture Alliance and the American National CattleWomen, Inc.

As you know, it is important that stakeholders involved in production agriculture take proactive steps to tell the industry's true story. Our highly-efficient and humane production methods make it possible for Americans to enjoy the safest, most affordable and most abundant food supply in the world.

We need your help! If you are interested in promoting agriculture, we encourage you to participate in the new College Aggies Online competition for college students interested in agriculture. Competitors will receive training and instructions from industry professionals and will enjoy access to a private forum (accessible at http://aggiesonline.ning.com) to post information about current and emerging issues facing farmers and ranchers.

The online community will provide you with resources on key issues to help you better utilize tools such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to share agriculture's story with the public. Each member will receive an individual account that you can customize and use to upload information. You will earn points for the campus club or organization that you choose to represent by posting blogs, photos and videos to the forum and by participating in online outreach activities.

College Aggies Online will officially launch on October 15, 2009 and the first year's competition will conclude in April 2010. After final point counts are tallied, the winning club will receive a $750 scholarship, national recognition and a trip for one representative to Washington, D.C. for the Alliance's annual Stakeholders Summit. Additional recognition and prizes will be awarded to the runner-up in the club competition and to the two top-placing individual competitors.

You can begin personalizing your account immediately by visiting the College Aggies Online network today!

We urge you to help ensure the future of our great industry by joining College Aggies Online!

Sincerely,
