Welcome

Hello Everyone!


For those of you who don't personally know me, my name is Lindsay. I recently graduated from high school and in the fall shall be off to bigger and better things! I will be attending Seward County Community College in Liberal, KS. where I will be majoring in Agribusiness and be apart of the Livestock Judging Team! This summer I attended the Kansas State University Animal Science Leadership Academy, at the Academy we were shown a whole new side of Agriculture that I wasn't aware existed. We were enlightened on how most of our country's consumer's don't have a clue where their food comes from! Most of our nations consumers are two generations removed from the farm, which was little less astonishing. So my goal through this blog is to show people, who don't have a farm in their back yard. What "country" life is like. I also hope to put an end to any negative images that the media puts on Agriculture. So lets start with some background information!
 I wasn't born on a huge farm with thousands of head of cattle- oh no. I was born on a small farm outside of Manhattan, KS. Growing up we raised two steers every year so we would have something to eat in the fall and winter. At a young age I loved being outside, whether it be helping dad with chores or playing with our dogs. As I grew up I was very active with our local 4-H club, I started showing cattle, sheep, and pigs- that was my first love. I absolutely LOVED being in the show ring! As the years passed and I entered high school I joined our FFA Chapter. Through 4-H and FFA I've been given the chance to discover what I truly love to do in this world, and that's be an Agriculture Advocate. Through Agriculture all things are possible- for example next year I'll be attending college with little to no expense. It's crazy how following your dreams, can feel so right!
So that's the beginning, you know a small portion about me. Throughout this blog I hope to inform you more about me and a Day in the Life of your average Kansas Girl!


God Bless,
Lindsay
