Thank a Farmer Thursday!

What will you be doing on March 31, 2011? Well if you are anywhere near the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, you should look for people in shirts that say "Proud to Farm." As a part of a group of colleges across the U.S. UNL is promoting farming and agriculture on both East Campus (Ag Campus) and City Campus.

I will be joining the ranks of students talking about my passion for Ag, and why it's important. My family certainly doesn't farm for the thanks of others, but rather because it's what we love! Too many of my friends and classmates don't have a clue about farming. In one of my advertising classes, my professor was surprised by my description of my family brand. She said it was too simplistic, and didn't show enough style. I told her I didn't have a hand in designing the H and sideways JS that are our brands, and that brands don't have to be creative, they must be readable. Simple everyday conversations like that always make me smile, and are what I'm hoping to see on the 31st. If you're a UNL student who wants to become involved check out the facebook event here.

'till the cows come home,
