NDSU Celebrates 40 Years of Excellence in Agriculture and Bison Athletics

More than 2,500 agriculturists have been recognized and more than $125,000 in scholarships have been awarded to NDSU student athletes.

The 40th annual Harvest Bowl program at North Dakota State University will be held Nov. 8 and 9.

Highlights of the event include a Harvest Bowl dinner and awards program on Nov. 8 at the Fargo Ramada Plaza and Suites and the Harvest Bowl football game between NDSU and Illinois State on Nov. 9. Also on Nov. 9, as part of Harvest Bowl, honorees will participate in educational sessions on the NDSU campus.

As the state’s land-grant university, NDSU plays a major role in contributing knowledge through research, academic programs and the Extension Service. More than 2,500 agriculturists have been recognized and more than $125,000 in scholarships have been awarded to NDSU student athletes who are studying agriculture, business or premed and come from an agricultural background.

The NDSU Harvest Bowl program recognizes the success, dedication and hard work of outstanding agriculturists in 53 counties in North Dakota and several counties in Minnesota.

An agribusiness award recipient is chosen annually. This award recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves in the field of agriculture and business in North Dakota and beyond. Richard Frohberg, a former NDSU hard red spring wheat breeder who is known internationally for his work, will receive the 2013 award.

Frohberg was the principal investigator of NDSU’s hard red spring wheat breeding program from 1966 until his retirement in 2002. During his tenure, 25 varieties of wheat were released and he also contributed to the development of nine varieties after his retirement.
