Did you know that there are around 2.2 million farms in the United States alone? That is a lot of farmand! The question is, why do we need that many farms? The answer is simple, we need all those farms in order to live. Without these farms producing goods such as corn, wheat, and cotton, we would not be able to live. You know how the saying goes, without Agriculture we would all be naked and hungry. This saying could not be more true. Agriculture is the key to survival for all living things.

I was so interested in learning more, so the 4-H teachers introduced me to some people at the extension office. They told me how I could become a 4-H member and compete in a competition. I competed in the Horse Evaluation CDE all through middle school and into high school. Once in high school I was able to compete on the FFA level. I competed in several different events, such as Floriculture, Parliamentary Procedure, Food Science and Quiz Bowl. I loved competing against other schools and I loved the feeling of being on a team. Competing was like an addiction to me. I felt like I was a part of something that was going to change the world. From the moment I started competed with the 4-H, I knew I wanted to be a part of Agriculture for the rest of my life. Once I became a member of the FFA, I was sure about my choice. Agriculture will not prosper without students showing interest in the field. I hope to continue my education at NC State and become an Agriculture Education
