Ag & NatR Activities Day (ANRAD) has been taking place at the University of Minnesota, Crookston for over 40 years. It is an annual event that allows area high school students the opportunity to participate in agricultural activities. There are over 20 contests for students to compete in. The contests are overseen by UMN Crookston Agriculture and Natural Resources Department faculty. In the past, more than 50 high schools participated in this event.

An awards ceremony culminates the exciting day. Scholarships, plaques and certificates are awarded to school teams and individuals for each contest. Over $32,000 in scholarships are available to award-winning students. Last year, $750 UMC scholarships were awarded for the high individual in each contest, $600 UMC scholarships were awarded for the second place individual, and $450 UMC scholarships were awarded for the third place individual.
