What’s Up Wednesday’s! Pt. 1

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm going to be doing a series on my blog once a month called, "Faces of Ag." The whole purpose of this is to spotlight other people out there doing great things promoting agriculture. You may or may not be familiar with the people...
