Ever since leaving the farm to come to Boise, I have been working to get back into farming and work to own my own farm.

Tell us more about your agricultural experiences:
- I grew up farming in southeast Idaho. My family raised beef cattle, pigs, chickens, and other livestock. During the summer we raised our own grass hay and alfalfa to feed over the winter. Every couple of years we would raise barley for Anheuser-Busch as a rotational crop.
I did everything from changing irrigation pipe, operating the equipment, feeding and caring for the livestock and everyday tasks around the farm. During this time I was active in 4-H raising steers.
My parents still run the farm and I go back throughout the year to help.
