Why do you enjoy what you do?  I have loved farming since I was old enough to stand, yes stand, on the front seat of my dad's pickup and do "crop checks" with him. We did our checks every day, sometimes twice a day.  I rode in the equipment with him and Dean and sometimes got to run a drag or chisel plow. It wasn't until I finally got to run a combine for the whole harvest that I fully realized how much I loved farming. Besdies farming, being an agronomist allows me to be as close to farming as I can be.  I really enjoy working with the farmers and learning from them--they truly are the best teachers. I just love scouting fields and being there when harvest comes and seeing the success of a job well done. Which, to me, really doesn't seem like a job at all.
