Reflection: Iowa State Extension And Outreach

Now you see why agriculture is so important to Arkansas and its economy. Also why it is so important to me, and how it affects the way I live everyday. I also want to give thanks to all the farmers out there who are working hard everyday to contribute to Arkansas life. I feel thankful for being able to live in a state so rich in its

Education is a powerful tool and, when used correctly, it has the power to teach someone a new skill, transform his or her perspective, and encourage personal growth and development. Throughout this country, numerous agricultural education programs help students to learn more about and deepen their understanding of one of this nation’s most valuable industries: the agricultural industry. Most importantly, these programs play a major role in helping to combat the lack of

So how can we fix this problem and close the Gap? The simplest solution is for people who are involved in agriculture to become agriculture advocates; to spread the word about what actually takes place on the farm and silence those who are spreading false

Majoring in agriculture I always get asked the question, “Do you talk to cows?” Agriculture is more than livestock animals and living on a farm. Majoring in agriculture is very diverse with multiple job opportunities, and I know this from personal experience. There are a lot of opportunities that come with having an agriculture major, such as scholarships, jobs, internships, teacher certification, communication skills and the science of agriculture.

The agriculture industry is not only the largest industry within our state, but also within our nation. However, in recent years it has also been one of the most heavily criticized. This has led to a ‘brain drain’ in rural America as more people decide to leave our industry and their family farms.

“Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve” is the motto of the National FFA Organization. This historical organization is guided by dedicated educators teaching in the field of agriscience. Agriscience educators are in high demand in Alabama and across the nation. Agriscience educators teach in a project based learning environment that reaches all students by teaching about innovative agricultural topics and working with new technology all while traveling across the state and country with the FFA.

9. A college such as The University of Illinois could provide farmers with the knowledge of new technology that could give them better crops for possibly less cost and a way to limit production. Additionally, it could teach farmers how to respond to new market

Growing up on a family farm in rural South Dakota, I never considered myself different from any other farm kid. At the age of eight, I joined the local 4-H club. Through my ten years of membership, I have participated in many differing project areas from showing beef calves to visual arts and everything in between. Through my many failures, I learned from my mistakes taking numerous best of show awards at county fair and finding success at state fair. 4-H has also given me the opportunity to become more involved in my community through local, county, and statewide community service projects. 4-H sparked my interest in agriculture.

The Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization is one of the best ways that I believe I have taken advantage of education. Because of my involvement in the FFA I have traveled to a lot of different universities and have competed in competitions. The type of competitions I would never involved in are cooperative marketing and tree pruning. By being apart of these teams I have learned more about farming and marketing then I ever thought I would. The biggest learning experience I have had with this organization was when I attended the state conference in Fresno, which is where I learn about the entire agricultural community in California, leadership, and it is also where I had met the national president and secretary of the FFA organization.

Agriculture in Iowa is one of the best in the United States, This is why living in Iowa in awesome. In this paper I will be telling you why living in Iowa is so great. I will also tell you a bunch about what makes Iowa so popular in Agriculture and I will also be telling you how and why Iowa is one of the best in the country for Agriculture. I personally think that Iowa is the best in the country for all agricultural use because of how much spare land that we have to build off of and all of the new technology that farmers are getting to produce more crops and help animals live longer.

WOOSTER — There are new faces in Ohio State University’s Wayne County Extension Office, a new office assistant, office associate and 4-H program assistant have been added to the staff recently.

Before the European settlement of Iowa, the state was a land covered in tall prairie grasses, wetlands, and small forests. The Native Americans thrived on these lands by using pockets of the fertile soil for agriculture and hunting the abundance of wildlife that roamed these plains. By the late 1800s however, the prairie had become farmland and the Europeans had begun their new lives along Iowa’s waterways and railroads. Within a century Iowa’s landscape had changed rapidly due to human activity.

I suggest you get some college degree incase farming doesn’t work out. Something like a agriculture Business Management which is a bachelor's degree. You will have to take Human Cultures Humanities, Human Cultures Behavioral, Science Information Literacy, Science one and Science two, Technology, Society Written Communication, and Oral Communication Quantitative Reasoning. You must have a 2.0 GPA, 32 Upper division credits taken from Purdue, 9 credits International Understanding, 3 credits Multicultural Awareness, 9 credits of Social Sciences outside the College of Agriculture to get the degree.("Agricultural

Many students who has grow in farms specially, do not want to have agriculture as a courses, because they aspire to break away from what they consider a financially and morally impoverishing vocation. So, an option could be to have agriculture, as a club where student interested on learning more about agriculture, which is the cultivation and breeding of animals, plants and fungi (fungus) for food, fiber, biofuel, medicinal plants and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. So with this information, do you believe agriculture can help schools?

Throughout this class I have learned more than I thought that I would. Not being from a ranch or farm, this class did not seem to pertain to me, but was the only one that I could fit. As the class began, I took a likening to the class atmosphere and the discussions that we had. In the discussions, everyone’s opinion was valued and the atmosphere allowed you to feel comfortable saying what you felt and while learning things, I also enjoyed the social aspect of the class. It was an important realization for me that just because I don’t come from a ranch or farm, learning about Home on the Range is important in becoming well rounded, no matter my major I am studying, also, it is my state’s history, which is important to know.
