PIN-POINT PRESENTATION UPDATE
On April 24, the NAMA competition team presented their product, Pin - Point, in Kansas City, MO. Despite a strong performance,
they did not move on to the semifinals. We are tremendously proud of their product, presentation, and entire team. NAMA
is an important agricultural education, communication, and marketing program, providing invaluable experiences for students passionate about the industry.
“The 2024 National Agri-Marketing Conference was held in Kansas City April 24-26. The University of Minnesota competed in the Collegiate Marketing Competition, where we presented our product, “Pin-Point,” along with our business and marketing plan to a panel of marketing professionals. Pin-Point is a laser device that would hook onto planters to measure seed depth as you plant, making seed depth measurement much easier for farmers. The competition team consisted
of myself, Nicole Koziolek, Eliza Endres, Selena Corona, Ben Styer, Brady Gille, and Abby Foss. We had a great time presenting, networking, and exploring Kansas City as a team! Thank you to Dr. Steede for his guidance, and organizing this incredible trip!”
