American Farm Bureau conference

The American Farm Bureau meeting was interesting. There were about 5000 people there participating in educational meetings, a discussion meet competition, and general sessions. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack gave a speech, and Mike Rowe of 'Dirty Jobs' was the keynote speaker - and a good speaker, too. As I said, the best part of it for me was meeting other farmers and Farm Bureau people.

One of the people I met is starting a 5K to promote Farm Bureau. Another girl I met has her own dairy blog and runs her own dairy tours - at Dairy Discovery. There were ranchers and all kinds of farmers from all over the country. It was just fun being around all these people who have the same interests.

Everyone I talked to seemed to really take pride in their jobs and the lifestyle that goes with it.

And do you want to see something nice? They showed this video during the closing session. Talk about making you feel good about your job choices!
