The Central Missouri Agriculture Club’s annual Ag Appreciation Banquet is focused on supporting youths, but it’s really all about the pie.
Funds raised from the dinner and pie auction, set for 6 p.m. Saturday at the Pork Place on the Missouri State Fairgrounds, support scholarships for high school seniors and college freshmen pursuing ag-related education; they also help cover costs for 4-H and FFA shows and achievement days, as well as sponsoring local students’ trips to Cole Camp each fall to see antique farm machinery in action.
