Before I know it I will be heading to St. Louis, and I am thinking I ought to start packing! I have started choosing what clothes I will bring with me and that makes me super excited!
As I think about what I’ll wear, I think about where we are going each day. Since we have gotten the first detailed schedule I have been ecstatic about all the cool places we get to tour and learn from. From our meetings about the trip before school got out for summer, we talked about going to Budweiser to tour and learn how they make beer. This really appeals to me, mostly because of the Budweiser horses, and even though this wasn’t part of the first schedule I’m hoping we will still be able to go!
I am really excited to go to all of the places we are going; seeing other colleges and their ag programs will be really interesting, as well as seeing a variety of animal agriculture productions, animal feed, research, farming equipment places, and Monsanto. I am looking forward to touring and learning more about Monsanto. 
In addition to the agricultural tours, I am also super excited to do tourist things while we are there. It is my first time visiting any of these states so I am ecstatic to get to do it all. Without this trip, I would not be visiting the Midwest anytime soon, so I am happy I get the opportunity to learn about agriculture and do things that these areas are well known for.
I know this trip is going to be awesome and we will be learning tons of great stuff. From this trip I am expecting to learn lots and meet new people and have a great time!
St. Louis here we come!!!
