Q: Tell a little about your experiences with the county Farm bureau
A: Wanting to be engaged in agriculture after high school/FFA the logical choice was to be involved with Farm Bureau. I helped with Ag in the Classroom activities with the Iowa Farm Bureau while attending Iowa State and when I moved home became active with the Henry County Farm Bureau and Young Leaders. I chaired and served on the board, chaired the education committee, went on the Young Leaders industry tour to Florida, Leaders to Washington, Women’s Communication Bootcamp, and many other activities.
Q: What are a couple things you absolutely loved and will cherish about this experience?
A: For me it was a report card and checking in on what I’ve been able to do for the industry. I really hope the compilation of articles, stories, etc are something that my kids will someday look at and feel inspired to be an advocate and see the impact that can be made.
