The event was held during the 77th National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky from October 27-30, 2004. Participants from 52 associations defended their projects against other entries for judging in 20 divisions.

The girls’ projects were on display at convention in the National FFA Agriscience Fair area of the FFA National Agricultural Career Show. Categories for competition were biochemistry – microbiology – food science; botany; engineering; environmental science and zoology. The four divisions divide students in grades 7-12. Each winning participant received either a cash award or scholarship.

The agriscience fair program is sponsored by Ford Trucks as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. It is one of the many ways FFA combines classroom teaching and hands-on learning to prepare youth for future success. Visit http://www.ffa.org for more information.
