There's a shortage of service technicians in the ag industry. The Western Farm Show's National Ag Challenge is an AgMech competition to help students build their way into the career by being introduced to the tests, components, and equipment during a friendly competition against other local students from Kansas and Missouri. The event has been held for the last 4 years, with over 400 students getting the opportunity to win prizes and $1000 for their school's agriculture needs.
The National Ag Challenge will be held February 19th during the show, again giving 100+ students the same opportunities to compete, network with colleges, network with OEM's and their career training opportunities and enjoy the farm show. If you're interested in more, click on the link below!
