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 Lacey Robinson, a student at the College of Veterinary Medicine here at K-State.

I am currently a first-year student at Kansas State
University College of Veterinary Medicine with aspirations of someday serving
rural Kansas as a food animal veterinarian. For the past year I have lived on a
farm near Olsburg, Kansas where we raise Angus cattle, grain and hay.
My passion has always been rooted in all aspects of
production animal agriculture and the well-being of those animals which we rely
on for survival and enjoyment. For generations my family has been devoted to
livestock production (beef cattle, hogs, sheep, horses) and the way of life it
represents.
Food For Thought is a great way to bridge the gap in
communication between interested consumers and livestock producers like myself.
We are proud of the tasty, wholesome food we bring to your table and enjoy
sharing the miraculous story of how it gets there! This blog is a welcome opportunity
to take part in dialog regarding current issues in agriculture and the future
of our food supply. I look forward to contributing to this worthy cause and
hearing what’s on your mind.
Great summary - people should never underestimate the sheer blood and sweat that farmers put into keeping the rest of the world fed.
