Reed Johnston, a senior agricultural and applied economics major from Waco, received Ag Council's September Aggie of the Month. Johnston said this honor is invaluable to him and he is honored to be a representative of the college.
"I love being able to represent CASNR, Alpha Gamma Rho, and all of the other organizations that I am a member of," Johnston said. "This award reassures that I am working in the right direction toward a bright future."
In addition to Alpha Gamma Rho, Johnston is involved in other student organizations including the soils judging team, Ag Pals, Collegiate FFA, and the Ag Council.

Johnston said he knows he made the right decision to attend Tech and is proud to be a student in the college that is receiving this honor.
"I came to Texas Tech for several reasons," Johnston said. "Which include the strong tradition that Tech upholds, the beautiful scenic view that never fails to welcome its students and visitors, but most importantly because I valued the education and opportunities that I would gain from being a student in CASNR."
