A Note from the Editor
Growing up close to my ag teaching grandfather Papa Jack, and being exposed to agriculture at a young age, I have experienced how diverse this industry really is. Not only is agriculture very diverse, but so are the students studying this subject. This year our class of 31 students has put together the largest issue to date, which speaks of the industry"s diversity while showcasing some outstanding agriculturalists and alumni of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
I would like to first thank the editing staff- Troy Tarpley, Katelyn Karney and Kelsey Reed. It has been such a joy working with the three of you. In addition to the talented and dedicated staff, I would like to thank my classmates that worked so diligently to produce the stories in this issue. Thank you to Dr. Doerfert, Courtney Gibson and Danielle White for your guidance and insight throughout this semester. You all are the driving force behind the success of this magazine. Also, thank you to those who shared their personal stories and contributed to each article. Finally, thank you to the advertisers who again and again provide their financial support.
This magazine encompasses some truly remarkable stories showcasing success, opportunities and how agriculture will forever be a part of our lives. I hope you enjoy this edition of The Agriculturist.
