And Let FFA Season Begin!

   I apologize once again for not posting anything for a while. But I have a good excuse, at least it is a good excuse in my book, but Missouri FFA season is picking up! These past two weeks have been filled with FFA, it is my favorite time of the school year. :)

FFA Week in Review

    Sorry I haven't posted in a couple weeks, my life has been crazy with FFA. We just wrapped up FFA Week and we are getting ready to start contest teams. I will talk about that later, FFA Week is the topic of the day for me!

Agriculture Isn't Just For Farmers

    Our friends at Monsanto Seed Company has provided us another video to enjoy. Many of my friends
believe that because I want to have a career in agriculture means I am going to farm. I don't know what I want to do. I have several majors in mind, but I know I want to be in agriculture. Animal science, agriculture communications, agriculture business; I feel like my desired major changes everyday! Enjoy the video below to see what careers are offered in the agriculture industry.

Amateur Ham Curer Over Here...

    Last year I added to my SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experience) and cure a ham. Well I wasn't able to start it myself, I had a basketball game that night. So my brother got my ham started. He cured a ham as a 4H project because he is in middle school. But this year I will be able to be apart of the project from start to finish.

Thank a Farmer!

    Today is the second snow day for me this week, and probably not the last! So while I am sitting around trying to keep myself occupied, I have an announcement! This fine blizzard of week  is 'Thank a Farmer Week'. Go out into the weather and thank your friendly neighborhood farmer!  I am sure they would appreciate it (bringing a cup of hot coffee wouldn't hurt either)!

Food for Thought

    I had found this video and I wanted you guys to see it.  This video "Food for Thought" provides with a lot of information about America's agriculture industry.
