Agriculture plays a huge role in my life, and in honor of the Animal Agriculture Alliance's #WhyIThankAg campaign, here are 5 reasons why I thank agriculture today and every day. 

Last week I joined my sisters in agriculture at the 2017 Sigma Alpha National Convention.

Today, though, I'm done giving in to the excuses. I'm done thinking I'm not creative enough, clever enough or what have you.
