Agriculture
This morning I walked across the bridge from the residence hall that I live in, into the cafeteria and to the coffee bar to get my morning fix before my first class. I then look over to the chef's station next to me and I see some toast and I go over and grab some for a quick meal before I went to class. It wasn't until I started thinking about what to write for this blog post that I realized how important of a role agriculture played in my daily life. In that short amount of time of getting out of bed to going to my first class, (which in all honesty was about 20 minutes,) I had used agricultural products too many times to count.

Daily Fix

When you think about the products that you use, one of the first things that comes to most people's minds is food. Food is delicious and also a necessity of life, but let us look further and harder for the things that we gain from agriculture. The clothes you are wearing right now is a product of agriculture (cotton). The toothpaste that you hopefully brushed your teeth with this morning is a product of agriculture. Nearly anything you can see is agriculturally produced yet we so often overlook that fact.
I challenge you to think about what crop or other product went into making what you are now buying at the store. Really think about the role agriculture plays in your life regardless of where you work, where you live, or what you do. It is guaranteed that agriculture is a part of your daily life.
