“There are cows in the Brickyard!” one NC State student’s tweet read recently.

And indeed there were cows … and goats, chickens, and even a miniature horse. It was the unexpected but profoundly welcomed return of Ag Awareness Week on NC State’s campus.  

Spotlighting NC Agriculture

Alpha Zeta, NC State’s agricultural honors fraternity, has hosted the week-long celebration of North Carolina agriculture for decades. The week coincides with the Presidentially recognized National Ag Day in late March.

“We try to show people on campus how important agriculture is to NC, how it is important in our everyday lives, and what really goes into producing the food and fiber for our state,” Alpha Zeta brother Roshni Panwala said. “One of Alpha Zeta’s missions is to promote service and understanding of the agriculture industry. Ag Awareness Week is one of the best ways we showcase that.”
