Monday's agriculture website of interest: AG - IT'S NOT JUST A JOB, IT'S AN ADVENTURE!

For those new to the Cow Art and More blog, we feature an agriculture themed website with our readers every Monday.

Today's agriculture website of interest is the "Ag -It's not just a job, it's an adventure!" blog maintained by Janice Person. Janice was not raised on a farm, but had the opportunity to explore agriculture journalism while in college. She has kept her position within the agriculture industry and blogs about her "new life". The best part of Janice's blog is getting to know the farmers and people she meets as a part of her "everyday adventures."

Monday's agriculture website of interest: NATIONAL FFA

Monday's website of agricultural interest is from the National Future Farmers of America (FFA) Organization. This group is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Interested students join the chapter at their local school and may continue to be members through college.

FFA prepares students for premier leadership, personal growth and career success both within and outside of agriculture. Founded in 1928, the FFA organization represents a large diversity of over 300 careers in the food, fiber and natural resources industry. More than 7,000 FFA chapters are currently in existence; their programs are managed on a local,state and national level. Each chapter’s program of activities is designed with the needs of the students in mind. Activities vary greatly from school to school, but are based in a well-integrated curriculum. Chapter activities and FFA programs concentrate on three areas of our mission: premier leadership, personal growth and career success.

Monday's agriculture website of interest: AG CAREERS

With the current state of the economy, jobs are in tight supply. I recently found the website Ag Careers. It caters to the agriculture, biotechnology, and food industries and brags to have over 2400 new job listings posted monthly. The site has offices world wide and also works with businesses to find the right applicants for their positions. The site also has helpful articles for job seekers and an informative newsletter for job applicants and their employers.
