Well, we did it! We all made it home! In some ways I was anxious to be home, but in most ways I didn’t want to leave, the midwest was extremely homey, and a comfortable place to be. Sure I couldn’t live a crazy busy life just touring agriculture with 17 other people each day, but I do think one of those places could very well be enjoyable for me!
As we departed I couldn’t help but think about what I want to do after college, where to go, who I’d know, what kind of job I want, or even in what field… I have decided that all I know is that I want to in some kind of livestock industry with some kind of health/science involved; this could be anywhere from a manager at a dairy to an AI technician, but after this tour I have seen so much more than I had ever opened my eyes to. That being said, I know why I enjoyed this tour; not a single person didn’t love their job, not a single person we talked to wasn’t content with their success, and not a single person didn’t work hard for the job they had and not a single one wasn’t proud of where they stood today. And that is why I love agriculture, I have seen that if you work hard, fight through the storms and keep your chin up there will always be light at the end of the tunnel.
I want to thank Matt for taking time out of his school year and summer to plan, and even more out of his personal life to make the trip happen and experience it with us. We all appreciate all that you’ve done and I know there couldn’t have been a better instructor for the course! Also a huge thank you to Hannah, for being such a great chaperone!
I am sad that the class is over but I really can’t wait to make it happen again! Look out for an update towards summer if I take on another tour! Thanks for listening!
