Relations to Agriculture

After discussing this topic with my parents, I learned that I have strong ties to ranchers on both sides of my family. My family had farms where they took care of cattle, which is part of agriculture. This fact I hadn’t really considered before. I find it really interesting that I came from a background of mostly cattle ranchers, personally I had originally thought that there were more farmers. I also learned that my Grandpa’s mother grew up on a farm. I feel that I learned a lot of new family history from my discussion. I also knew before this discussion, that my family participates in supporting the growth of organic foods by buying it biweekly from local farmers. I feel that learning my ties to agriculture is very helpful, especially for me since it is so diverse. I felt that I understand that there are many aspects of agriculture that I hadn’t expect before.
