The Southern Association of Agricultural
Scientists (SAAS) has been in existence since 1899 under various names.
SAAS strives to forward the interests of Southern agriculture by
bringing agricultural leaders in the educational field and industry
together. The association instructs and trains individuals for the
purpose of improving or developing their capabilities relating to
educational activities in service to the public arena. SAAS also offers
young scientists an opportunity to present papers resulting from their
research, extension, or other efforts and to exchange knowledge with
other leaders.
SAAS serves in these and in many other
ways as well. With agriculture declining in relative importance to
industry, there is need for an organization such as SAAS dedicated to
representing and supporting agriculture on an industry-wide basis in the
South. The association encourages young people to avail themselves of
the opportunities of serving agriculture. It helps bring about the best
possible working relationship between various agricultural
organizations, agencies and agriculturally related industries. SAAS also
promotes representation by Southern agriculture on national boards and
commissions.
