Perhaps its something that all current and former students can identify with: finals are two weeks away, there are tons of tests and papers this week, and I have no motivation to do any of it (though I will). Hence the starting of this blog. It's been something that I've been meaning to do for a while now, but haven't had the time. Now, of course, when I don't have any time to spare, I make time because I don't want to do anything else. I want this blog to focus on what it's like to be a farm girl growing up in a world that is turning anti-animal ag. faster than you can ever imagine! It's really crazy and thanks to my dad, other family members, friends, and professors, I'm beginning to take a stand against the things that are threatening the way of life that I love. Let's get something straight: I fully believe that agriculture is not just a career or profession, it is a way of life! There's something about it that can't be put into words. Maybe through this blog, you, the readers, can catch a slight glimpse of what life in agriculture is all about and why the people involved love it like we do.
Random Fact #1 - South Dakota has a population of 812,383. (July 2009)
What a wonderful mission. I am so excited for this blog. We need more people in agriculture to put the facts out there and take a proactive approach. I cannot wait until I can do something similar to what you have here. Way to go!!!
