When asking Ryan why agriculture is important to him and his family, he notes “Having grown up on a family farm, I can’t think of a day where I’m not reminded of agriculture and the tremendous impact it has had on my life. I have showed livestock at county fairs and been an active leader in my local 4-H and FFA chapters. My family also has deep roots in agriculture, both my parents went to Iowa State and graduated with degrees in Ag Business and continue to work in the agriculture sector. My Grandparents are still actively farming and have passed along the true values of Agriculture to me through my parents.” Congratulations, Ryan!
