The Final Countdown

As the semester approaches to an end, my appreciation and gratitude for agriculture and all that I have learned this semester fortunately will not commence. I look at this as an opportunity to continue learning more and seeking out ways to become involved in agriculture, in the school systems and within my community.

My classmates, professors and my university are all inspirations for me see how much there is still for me to learn and understand within the contexts of agriculture, despite how much I have already soaked up this semester. 

This semester I have thoroughly enjoyed diving into multiple topics for my blog posts. As I said, this is not the end, but truly the beginning of what's to come for me and my relationship with the study of agriculture, and my future as an agricultural communicator. I am so proud that my campus is a "Student Focused, Land Grant, Research University." 

I love the community of Fargo, ND where agriculture is right outside my window, in my classrooms, and within my community. I believe that I am fortunate to live in a state that understands the necessity of strong agricultural resources for its citizens, and for our nation. 

I do not know where my future will take me, or if it will keep me here in Fargo forever. However when I start a family, I know that I want my own children to be involved in programs such as FFA and 4-H, and that I will teach the importance of farms/other agriculture processes. I have been blessed with so many resources at my fingertips when I have questions to seek the answers, and I would hope that some day my own children will have even more knowledge and information at their finger tips as our world continues to evolve.   

Just a plants and animals grow, so will my curiosity about agriculture.
