The quiz show is sponsored by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the Georgia National Fair. The fair is Oct. 9-18. Fair visitors will have a dozen chances to get in on the quiz bowl fun, with three daily showings Oct. 12-15. At each show, a CAES professor will provide some fascinating facts about agriculture in an entertaining lecture. If you grew as fast as a chicken, you'd weigh 349 pounds at age 2.
More people die from insect bites than snake bites.
Mosquitoes and the diseases they carry will probably kill 1 million people this year. After the lecture, Chance said, four people in the audience get to be contestants in the quiz bowl. They'll compete for Ag U degrees by answering questions covered in the lecture. We try to make it as fun and entertaining as we can. While we're having fun, though, we try to let everyone leave with a little more knowledge about the importance of agriculture in Georgia.
