Nearly 300 students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community residents attended the 35th 
Annual Ag Arama on Saturday, January 30, 2010. Several contests are held and a variety of awards are given out to honor both current and graduated students. Ag Arama is planned and operated by a committee of students advised by faculty members.
Included in the variety of contests held are contests in agronomy, animal science, horticulture, and natural resources that highlight Ag Arama weekend. These contests serve as an opportunity for students in agriculture and natural resources degree programs to showcase their knowledge and skills and have a chance to interact with alumni and faculty members.
Isaiah Ulmer, a junior from Fullerton, N.D., was the Round Robin Showmanship Winner for the day. The Round Robin Showmanship competition takes the first place winner from each showmanship contest, including horse, dairy, sheep, beef, and swine, and brings them together in the same ring. It was a challenging contest as each contestant must know something about every animal. Ulmer took home the Animal Science Sweepstakes Trophy as part of winning the Round Robin Showmanship competition.
