The 2025 Missouri Professional Agriculture Student (PAS) Organization Conference will be held on the North Central Missouri College Campus in Trenton, November 11 – 13. This year’s conference is being coordinated by the NCMC Agriculture Natural Resources Department and sponsored by FCS Financial and Heritage Tractor. Missouri PAS Secretary Aubrey Schreckhise, an NCMC sophomore Agriculture major from Meadville, Missouri, is helping lead the local effort.
More than 100 agriculture students, faculty, and staff from five Missouri post-secondary institutions are expected to compete in career development activities, attend leadership workshops, and elect state officers for next year. Featured session speakers will be local agriculture industry leader and current NCMC Board of Trustees President, Chris Hoffman from Trenton, and Dalanie Auffert, National PAS Vice President from Parnell, MO. Conference participants will also have the opportunity to attend a tour provided by Roeslien Energy and an agriculture industry dinner meeting at Smithfield Hog Production in Princeton, MO. Approximately 25 regional agricultural and educational leaders have agreed to serve as judges for the career interview section of the conference.
Missouri colleges participating in the year’s conference include Crowder College, North Central Missouri College, State Fair Community College, State Technical College of Missouri, and Ozark Technical College.
The National PAS Organization was founded in March 1980 in Kansas City, Missouri. Its mission is to provide opportunities for individual growth, leadership, and career preparation. North Central Missouri College is a charter member of both the Missouri and National PAS Organizations.
