Agriculture is an exciting industry to be a part of. Not
only is there always something going on, but what could be better than spending
time with animals, great people and getting outside for some fresh air?
I know I’m not alone in saying agriculture isn’t just my
job, it’s my life. EVERYTHING I do can somehow be linked to dairy farming or
ag. Even running. I love running where I can see cows. Loving what you do is so
important in agriculture. On a farm, especially a dairy farm, it’s hard to get
away if you really don’t like farming…and if this is this is the case, you are
definitely in the wrong industry.
So why do I stay involved in agriculture if I can easily go
do something else? Well, first, I don’t want to do anything else. Second, I
just love dairy cows. Third, the people are awesome. I also love helping to make a difference in
the lives of farmers and helping people better understand where their food comes
from and how it is produced. There is A LOT of work that goes into producing
food. Farming requires a lot of hours and a lot of hard work. I don’t know
anyone in farming that doesn’t love their job, though.
Finally, agriculture has the best people. I always called my
4-H club and cow showing friends my “4-H family” and that’s so true when it
comes to agriculture. It’s also why I love going to industry meetings.
Regardless of whether or not you live on a farm or are
connected to agriculture, everyone can celebrate Ag Month. After all, food is
something that is relevant and important to everyone. If you have questions
about farming, please ask a farmer.
March isn’t over yet! There is still plenty of time left to
celebrate agriculture and good nutrition. How are you celebrating this month?
