On October 17 and 18, the MCHS Eagle’s Media team (advisors Beau Sherman and Leigh Twitty and students Wendy Escalante and Edgerin Williams) traveled to Moultrie to the Sunbelt Ag Expo and produced the 3rd Annual Ag Youth Symposium held on October 18. On October 17, the students used their press credentials to conduct radio interviews for WMCZ LP 94.5 FM, the school's radio station. They also attended the Farmer of the Year ceremonies. On October 18, the students produced and aired the annual Ag Youth Symposium. The guest speakers were Dr. Kent Wolfe representing UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic development; Donnie Carter for the Georgia Young Farmers Association and Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black.

Eagle Media Crew member Edgerin Williams hosted the show and asked the questions submitted by students from around the state. MCHS communicated remotely with Stone Mountain Middle School’s Mr. Marshal Chambers class where students asked about the new trends in Urban Agriculture. Mr. Austin Reams (left with Mr. Sherman) from CNS assisted in directing the event. Special thanks to Kubota for providing the tractor as the backdrop.
