As you can imagine from the title of this blog, I am an Iowa country girl who was raised on a hog farm in Northeast Iowa (God's Country) and am now living in town while I am attending college at Iowa State University. Living in town (Personally I would consider Ames to be a city compared to the small town of Waukon, Iowa which is where I am from.) has been an adjustment, but after being here for 3 years I am slowly getting used to it. What I really miss though is the fresh smell of the country air, going for walks down the gravel road and driving the 4-wheeler with my dog Cola running along beside me.
You might be wondering what I was thinking in starting a blog. Last week I had the opportunity to listen to and meet Troy and Stacy Hadrick from Advocates for Agriculture. They were very inspirational and I realized that it is about time that I start talking about my involvement in agriculture and perspective on issues. Below is a picture of some great friends and myself with Stacy and Troy.
Agriculture has a great story and all involved have their own perspective and opinions. Not to get on a soap box and start preaching, but that is the beauty of America, we are all allowed and have been given the right to make our own opinions and speak them freely. This blog will allow me the opportunity to share with you my opinions and a chance to speak my mind about agriculture and the issues the industry faces.
Please feel free to comment and shout out any suggestions.
I just ask that you please be patient as I learn about the world of blogging!

Great work Britney!
