"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

It's Class Time!


It has begun! Classes start today, and yes I’ve already gotten a couple evil stares because my first class doesn’t start until two this afternoon. The question is will I regret it? Or will I be thankful for the extra study and quiet time? We'll see.

My morning has been spent printing syllabuses and looking over future reading and writing assignments. All I have to say is I’m sure glad I like to write! I can definitely tell that gone is the high school way of barely making it by; I am going to have to make an effort to keep up with my studies! This is going to be an experience, but I’m looking forward to it.

One of the things I’m most excited about is being introduced to developments in agriculture and different ideas about how we should best present ourselves. I’ve heard a few different thoughts from different people, and hopefully I’ll be able to write a little about them someday. They’re all pointed toward the same goal though, to increase agricultural awareness and educate consumers on the truth of how their food gets to their plate, they just utilize different strategies. I think the most important thing for us to do as an agricultural industry is to combine our ideas. Alone, we have some good thoughts, but together we can apply better solutions and work towards a better future for both producers and consumers.
