New Member Alert -- Nicole Born
We have some fresh faces around Food For Thought these days - we held a membership drive in August and September and have some great new minds who are excited about agriculture among our ranks! Periodically, you'll see their bios here so that you can get to know them. This post is about new member Nicole Born, a student at the College of Veterinary Medicine here at K-State.

I am Nicole Born. I’m originally from a small family farm located just
northeast of Topeka, KS where we raise Polled Hereford cattle and dairy
and meat goats. I have a BS in Agriculture from K-State and I’m
currently a sophomore in the
College of Veterinary Medicine. Those that knew me in undergrad would
know me as Nicole Rosencutter, but I got married to Jonathan Born,
another College of Ag grad, in July 2011. I am very excited to get
involved with Food For Thought! Agriculture has been,
is, and will always be my passion. I have always been involved in the
agricultural industry through our family farm and staying involved in
many ag activities throughout undergrad and vet school. A few years
ago, I had the opportunity for training through
the National Beef Ambassador program with Trent Loos. At that event,
he had us practice “grace under fire”, rapid questioning regarding the
agriculture industry. Since that time, I have had an even stronger
passion for being an advocate for agriculture and
I’ve had the opportunity to inform others about the industry through
various activities and within my vet school class. After graduating, I
plan to practice in a mixed animal practice in a rural community,
probably around Lebo, KS, where my husband’s family
farm is located. I am so excited to get involved with this group to
strengthen my knowledge of current events in agriculture, further
practice my communication skills, and spread the word about this amazing
industry on our campus and beyond!
