According to Dr. Larry Allen, Chair of the Division of Agriculture and Forest Resources at ABAC, the scholarship recipient at Ag Showcase 2000 was selected based on his performance in two tests: a written exam on wildlife and forestry and a golf putting accuracy contest. Of the approximately 150 students competing for the scholarship, Davis scored the highest number of points. The scholarship funds can be applied toward any major at ABAC.
A career exploration program for high school students, Ag Showcase 2000 provided information to students interested in careers in agriculture, science, agribusiness, marketing, and research. Students learned through displays, tours, and personalized information sessions presented by ABAC, Fort Valley State University, and the University of Georgia.
