Home of the Free, Land of the Brave

     For months my FFA chapter was preparing and planning for this day to send eight students to Washington, D. C. for the Washington Leadership Conference (WLC). The ten of us  (my advisor and his wife, Blake, Jon, Carter, Frank, Abby, Meghan, Sydney and myself) packed ourselves into three vehicles at 4:45 in the morning and headed towards the airport to catch the plane for D. C.

What Missouri Agriculture has to Offer

    The first week in June I climbed onto a bus not knowing what I was getting myself into, but I knew I wouldn't forget it.  I knew I wouldn't forget the places I would see or the friends I would grow to love because of my MAbA experience.

My Side of the Story

    "Tell your side of the story to your community, tell people your part of agriculture..."

    I am told this at every agriculture event I attend; FFA Missouri State Convention, Washington Leadership Conference, Missouri Agribusiness Academy. I didn't know how I could tackle that challenge and get my story out to the consumer. I love to write and take photos, so the idea of Rural Culture was born.
