The College of Agriculture has opened so many doors for me through great education and involvement. Being involved in clubs and organizations allowed me to network and gain lifelong friendships. Involvement is superb while getting my college degree because it lets me get outside of the classroom and step out of my comfort zone while gaining professional and social skills needed for post-graduation success.

      Farm Hand

      Working as a farm hand at my family's fourth generation cattle and catfish farm by assisting in making financial decisions, balancing checkbooks, and hands-on farm labor. The farm was originally a dairy farm in the 50's and has transformed to a mid-scale cattle and catfish operation. Working part time throughout my high school and college career has strengthened my work ethic tremendously. Showing skills like time management, hard work, and trustworthiness began on the farm. Having a strong desire in a future in agriculture began when I was a young boy helping out on the family farm. Show less

      Field Hand

      Assisting with nematode, corn, cotton, and honeybee experiments as a student worker my Junior year of college. Nematodes are small parasitic worms that latch onto the roots of plants and cause a scist on the roots and can take all water and nutrients from the plant. The honeybee experiments were mainly to try to find a way to control mites using a pesticide rub on the outside of the honeybee hives. The corn and cotton experiments were mainly just variety and plant date trials implemented to show production differences. Show less
