Congratulations, Addison! 🎉

Full brains and bellies after today's activities!🥣🐶

From competing in a scavenger hunt throughout the O.H. Kruse Feed Mill to making tasty treats for themselves as well as some pets, campers got an inside look on what it takes to feed the world. Lastly, they finished up their day with a session about Ag Economics with Dr. Logan Britton. K-State College of Agriculture K-State Department of Agronomy

This camp is full of smart cookies!🍪🤓

On day two, campers got a tour of the Hal Ross Flour Mill and got to see where wheat kernels turned into flour and the baking lab where they learned about different types of flour used in the bakery and made chocolate chip cookies. Thank you to Grain Craft , Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Ardent Mills and Bill Barr & Company for teaching the campers what life is like in the industry!

Campers spent the day in the fields studying crops that had been planted, used the latest technology to analyze it, and learned how to assess the crops after it’s harvested. They ended the day with a bowling party! K-State College of Agriculture K-State Department of Agronomy

Starting summer with a GOLD medal finish 🏆

Graduate students Shivaprasad Doddabematti Prakash, Suhan Bheemaiah Balyatanda, and Jared Lou Rivera earned 1st place in the Student Hygienic Design Competition hosted by 3-A Sanitary Standards Inc.! Their award-winning project, “Dry-to-Safe: Moisture-free powder removal for pathogen-safe processing,” tackled a major challenge in food manufacturing: safely removing dry powder residue from processing equipment without introducing moisture that could harbor pathogens.

Not only did they bring home the championship title, but they also earned $10,000 in prize money! Congratulations to Shivaprasad, Suhan, and Jared on this incredible achievement and for representing the Department of Grain and Food Science with excellence! 💜

Future leaders of agriculture got a firsthand look at feed and flour production! 💙💛

Kansas and Colorado FFA chapters took a break from the 98th Annual FFA Convention to tour the O.H. Kruse Feed Technology Innovation Center and Hal Ross Flour Mill, seeing the science, technology, and teamwork behind the grain and feed industries.

Thanks for visiting; we loved sharing our passion for Grain and Food Science with the next generation!
