- While at the National Cattleman’s Beef Association (NCBA) Convention in Reno, Nev., from Feb. 6 through Feb. 8, AgriLabs will give away a total of $1,500 to be used for youth scholarships. Each of the three days the convention’s trade show is open, one lucky attendee will be selected to choose an organization to receive a $500 scholarship grant. In turn, the organization — which must be a state affiliate of either the NCBA or the American National CattleWomen (ANCW), or the ANCW Foundation — will use the $500 for an educational scholarship for a deserving youth during 2008. To qualify for the drawings to determine which organizations will receive the $500 scholarship grants, convention participants simply need to register at the AgriLabs booth, No. 801.
