The 15th annual Utah Agriculture Products Barbecue was a food-filled time prior to the USU Homecoming football game Saturday, Sept. 26, where proceeds were raised for a College of Agriculture scholarship endowment. The all-you-can-eat barbecue welcomed Utah agricultural commodity groups who served everything from lamb to onion rings west of the Stan Laub Center.

The tractor parade and movie night, held Monday, Sept. 27, were a great way to start Ag Week for students across campus. The College of Agriculture celebrated Faculty Appreciation Day on Tuesday.
