Finishing my student teaching experience in the spring, I taught the following subjects: equine science, animal science, and horticulture in North Carolina. Let me tell you now, these subjects look a little bit different here in Utah. For example, I have since discovered what range land is, and how you might drive past a few cows if you get sidetracked exploring public land in Wyoming (from experience).
I graduated with my bachelor's degree in agricultural education and have since accepted a master's assistantship with Utah State University to do research while pursuing my master's degree in agricultural extension and education. This is the educational side of agriculture, where you learn how to teach middle and high school students about this term "agriculture". But what is it anyway?
Merriam-Webster defines the subject as : the science, art, or practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock in varying degrees the preparation and marketing of the resulting products.
Because I no longer have the two acres of ground in North Carolina that I have written previously about and am new to the concept of watering your lawn in Utah, consider this a place for agricultural updates based on my adventures here. This is a blog of new agricultural concepts to apply once I have ground of my own in Utah, or wherever that may be upon graduating from Utah State University.
Welcome to Utah y'all. This is how we Practice-Farm.
