The Agribusiness (AGB) Department at Cal Poly continued its traditional annual faculty bus trip this year, traveling to Sacramento for two days and visiting agricultural producers, processors and agricultural technology and service providers throughout California’s Central Valley. They also stopped to see and catch up with many AGB alumni.

“The faculty bus trip is a great way to keep in touch with alumni and to also build faculty camaraderie,” said Professor Lynn Hamilton. “We greatly appreciate all the time and energy put forth by the companies that hosted our visits.”

Anyone who would like to be part of future Agribusiness faculty bus tours should contact the Department Head Bryan Lohmar at btlohmar@calpoly.edu.
