From a ranch kid who dreamed of having a tractor to a professor with a miniature tractor collection in his office. It is a fun reminder that passions start early and never really leave us. 🚜🌱 #AgJourney #LSUAgCenter #JohnDeere

Last Friday, I delivered an agents training at Hammond REC. The talk took place in this building, which instantly brought back childhood memories. It resembles the old houses from my hometown, many of which, sadly, no longer stand. A bittersweet reminder of where I come from.#LSU

A couple of weeks ago I attended my first International Symposium on #Soil and #PlantAnalysis! 🌱
