All throughout the summer I have been asked: “What do you plan to do with your life after college?” I have found this to be a question I often cannot answer because I simply do not know. The agricultural industry has so many opportunities that I often find myself changing my mind constantly as to what I want to do with my degree. I often look at this as a positive problem. I have been looking forward to this trip ever since I got told I was going to be able to go. Growing up in a small community, I have had a lot of support with my degree choice and that definitely helps me move along. Some expectations that I have for this trip would definitely be to help me find my “path.” I have grown up around agriculture in the small rural town of Clarksburg, CA but, once you have lived around something for so long, you never think about what else could be out there as a career opportunity.
I am excited to see how they manage farmland in the Midwest compared to farmers in California and Oregon. I am excited that this trip actually went through and I know we are all going to be very well educated and cannot thank Matt enough!!
