“In college, I couldn’t tell if I would really use economics one day, and wondered how well it would apply to the job. Today, I give customers market advice and talk to them about how the market affects prices. I use economics on a day-to-day basis and it’s very beneficial in my work.”

“I participated in the Ag Business Club, where we got to meet many ag industry professionals and received help with internships. The club pushed us toward professional goals, and if I hadn’t been a part of that I wouldn’t be here now.”
