Post trip:
At first I was so excited for this trip, I saw the itinerary and thought there wasn’t one place one it that I didn’t want to see. I went into the trip with high hopes and expectations. Thankfully all of my expectations where met and by far exceeded. I had an amazing time the whole week and honestly wish our trip had been longer. Our group meshed very well together even with our diverse backgrounds. I learned not only about agriculture on this trip but also a bit more about myself and what options I could possibly have in the future for a masters program or a future career. By experiencing this trip I’ve learned that the Pacific Northwest may not always be my home because there are so many more options out there for me.
I would recommend this trip to anyone with a sense of adventure! It is a little strange to travel as a class but I will say it was well worth it.
I would like to thank Matt for putting this trip together and braving taking all of us girls and on other guy halfway across the country! I’m sure it took many hours making sure it all came together and the hard work he put in is very appreciated. I hope that the ag tour continues to tour all parts of the United States and wish I wasn’t graduation so I can continue to attend trips similar.
