After high school, I was very hesitant about continuing my education, but once I visited the VU campus and the Ag Center, my mind was made up. At the time, I did not fully realize the impact this experience would have on me. I was given the opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone and put my knowledge and skills to the test at NACTA in Canyon, Texas. The time I spent alongside my classmates and professors truly represents what VU Agribusiness is all about. It honestly feels like one big family; focused on the future of agriculture and horticulture, applying what we’ve learned, and growing together both professionally and personally.</description><author/><image><img src="/_resources/images/degree-and-program-images/bps/agribusiness-picture-briley-hamilton.jpeg" alt="Briley Hamilton"/></image><video/><tags><tag>agribusiness</tag></tags></item>
