Agriculture Banquet
Each year in March the Portage County Business Council sponsors a banquet in honor of agriculture month. The Agri - Business Committee is responsible for planning activities that support, promote and celebrate agriculture and related businesses across Portage County.

The 2008 Annual American Agriculture Banquet was held on March 10, 2008 at the Holiday Inn in Stevens Point. The event recognized award-winning students for their 4-H efforts, FFA membership and pursuit of ag-related careers, as well as the distinguished service of one adult for personal and professional contributions to agriculture in Portage County.

The Portage County Business Council invites you to share sponsorship for this event by making a donation that helps defray complimentary meal costs and speaker fees. We greatly appreciate all community support received for this event.

Sponsor names are printed on all publicity for the event. If your business is interested in co-sponsoring this event with the Portage County Business Council , please contact us.

If you are or will be attending an accredited Wisconsin school of higher education, fill out an application for the Agri-Business Scholarship.
