I hope that everyone that finds this post is doing well! Its been a very busy week in starkville for me, im sure everyone else has been busy as well. The weather has been very cooperative on that farm so much that we have caught up on just about everything except a few sandy fields we are waiting until spring to row up. Its such a blessing that we are so far ahead of schedule and ready for next year but we didnt get there by doing nothing. It took a lot of long days and late hours to finally get where we needed to be with the field work.
In one of my classes AIS 4203 our Ag computer class we learned about social medias impact on Agriculture. I have been following a girl named Erin Ehnle for about the past year she advocates farming and photography. She posted a picture that really hit home with me this week it was about how farmers get 584 hours less sleep than the average american. I thought it was a great picture first of all and the fact it was an infographic i always share her pictures on my page. It wasnt until after i shared the picture i realized why she made it. She made it in response to a comedian that was putting down farmers and what they do. Some people just really dont have their facts straight so hopefully we can inform them of the truth. Erin is a great agvoate and hope yall check out her page and see all the great things she shares! In my opinion even ag students get less sleep than the average american since many of us not only go to school but have jobs or ag related jobs also!
Heres Erins facebook she also has a pinterest go follow her!
