AAEA Looking for Students to Create Videos for a New Competition

AAEA is looking for students to share with us why they're members of AAEA for our new AAEA Student Video Competition. Students in the fields of agricultural or applied economics are invited to put together a short (2-3 minute) video about what they consider the most important benefits of joining AAEA. It's free to enter and the winner will receive $300 and have their video played during the 2012 AAEA Annual Meeting in Seattle.
