In his book Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell set out to discover what makes people successful. He concluded that a key factor in being successful is opportunity – those who are given extraordinary opportunities and have the presence of mind to seize on them outperform those around them.
I can say, the past two summers I have been blessed with two extraordinary opportunities. Last summer, the PR team at the Wisconsin Farm Bureau took a chance on me as a college freshman. It’s that experience that gave me the confidence and experience to apply for this position, and I owe a debt of gratitude to Jen, Katie and everyone who was involved in selecting me the 2012 NSR Marketing & Communications intern.
Over the course of the summer, I have learned and grown a lot. Below are just a few lessons I’ll take back with me to Madison as I [ … ]
Perhaps no other show rivals the prestige and tradition of the National Barrow Show® in Austin, MN. Over the years Crane Pavilion has been the site of many outstanding shows and sales with influential breeding hogs that have left their mark for generations. One of the most unique aspects of the National Barrow Show® is Hog College Row.
In order to add to the value of the Hog College, for the first time each of the boars and gilts representing their breeds will participate in the “Home Run Drive.” Following the truckload show, all eight Hog College boars and gilts will be paraded in one ring. At this time, a three-member panel will pick the boar and gilt they feel best represents their breed. College teams will also have the opportunity to rank the Hog College nominees to compete for a team prize.
Over the past several weeks, the NSR [ … ]
23,000+ miles, 95 days, 52 herd visits, and 13 states, all made possible by what I strongly believe is the greatest livestock organization in the country! I struggle to find words that can put into perspective just how appriciative, humbled, and privileged I have been to have had the opportunity to serve such an outstanding organization and even more impressive membership! Each and everyone of you that I have had the opportunity to visit with over the last few months has impacted me in some way or another. My time with the National Swine Registry will certainly play a large role in the individual I am to become. I have gained life skills that will be utilized no matter what path life leads me down. Please know that, if I can ever be of any assistance to any of you, please do not hesitate to ask. As an asset to [ … ]
