I love teaching AG because of the uniqueness of the three circle model. Classroom, SAE and FFA. Everyday, every year is different. Student success is rewarding.

Working with students and seeing them grow into productive, energetic ag citizens is what brings me back to school every day!

Why do I teach ag? 5. Because of the random, hilarious, powerful, and impactful things that my students say without even realizing it. 4. Because I learn something new about myself, my students, and agriculture every day. 3. Because I think that agriculture is really, really important. Like the most important thing. Ever. 2. Because seeing students succeed is awesome. 1. Because my high school Ag teacher believed in me.

I began teaching ag because my ag teacher gave me this note in a meeting one day about ten years ago. Every day is a new challenge and I am always learning something new. The kids are passionate about agriculture and FFA and I know I am developing the global agricultural leaders of tomorrow

Two simple reasons

1. For the students - we are blessed to provide our students with opporuntities in agricultural education they will not have anywhere else. It is amazing what impact we have on our students, but even more amazing is the impact they have on us.

2. To share the passion of agricultural education. I love my job and they challenges that come along with it.

I love to teach ag because I see the love and appreciation that my students gain from seeing my enthusiasm. When they teach others I feel an immense amount of gratification. Seeing my students stand up for and support this industry... and their classes makes my heart swell. :)
