Ag Career Day at East Campus Union offered information and display tables to students with futures in farm
ing. Ag Day draws successful response
By John Oftmann
. How you going to keep 'em down on the farm, once
they've seen the inside of the fertilizer industry?
' The first UNL Ag Career Day Tuesday in the Nebraska
East Union was called a success by both students and agri
business representatives.
The response was so great that 95 students attended
during the first half hour, according to an Alpha Zeta
spokesman.
The purpose of the event was to explain career oppor
tunities in agriculture and what preparation is necessary
to get a job. It was sponsored by Alpha Zeta ag honorary
and the Agriculture Advisory Board.
Bob Straw, a Chevron Chemical Company representa
tive, said he has attended similar events throughout the
Midwest. Such events usually benefit students by explain
ing potential careers and helping them define goals,
he said.
Hiring policies
Straw said personal qualities are important ix company
hiring policies.
"We are recruiting people, not education," he said.
His company looks for such qualities as a good, stable
academic record, leadership in campus organizations,
sense of responsibility and desire to be successful.
John Kerens of the FMC Corporation, a soil insecti
cides producer, agreed major field of study is not
important, as long as it is agricultural related.
Communication ability also enters into Federal Land
Bank hiring practices, according to Steve Gustafson,
director of recruiting for the cooperative bank.
Student's records
He said the bank also looks at a student's college
record, including grades, activities and work experience.
The bank expects to hire about 45 new loan officers
this year in Gustafson's four state area (Wyoming, Iowa,
Nebraska, South Dakota).
He said a farm background is important to a loan
officer so he can understand a quickly-changing agri
cultural environment. s
Bill Davis, a freshman from Butler, Mo., said his
conversations with company representatives may change
his career plans.
The agronomy student said his first choice for the
future is farming, but the career day alerted him to oppor
tunities with fertilizer and chemical companies.
Another agronomy student said he was reassured to
find that jobs are actually available. Paul Saathoff of Ster
ling said he had planned to return to the family farm, but
is now considering a career with a fertilizer or finance
company.
Steve Kay ton, Ceder Rapids ag ecnomics student,
found the event may pay off in another way. One re
presentative told him his own company was not hiring,
but told Kayton that other companies were hiring at
higher wages than his own company .
