CONTESTS

Overview

The Marketing Plan contest challenges members to develop a marketing strategy for a real agricultural product, service, or business. As you work with your team to research your client, create a marketing plan, and present your recommendations, you'll strengthen your communication, teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Along the way, you'll gain hands-on experience working with an agribusiness client while preparing for careers in marketing and the agriculture, food, and natural resources industries.
