Farm Friday

What is happening this Friday on the farm is maybe more of what is happening off the farm.  Today I had the privilege and opportunity to speak at the Iowa Post-Secondary Ag Students (PAS) Spring Conference.  I gave a presentation to a group of over fifty ag college students about being a young farmer.  I covered My Farmer's and my story, as well as programs out there for young farmers, how and why to get involved, and we had an open discussion on how to make a plan for how to be more than just labor on your family farm.

I enjoyed working with the Iowa PAS organization when I use to work for the Iowa Soybean Association, so it was great to connect with this group once again.
