My name is Emma Spurgeon and I am a junior studying agronomy with a concentration in agribusiness and marketing with a minor in farm management. I am from Trafalgar, IN which as many of you know is home to the Indiana FFA Center. I jumped right in as a freshman and got involved in many different clubs and activities. The clubs I enjoy the most are the Agronomy Club, Homesteaders Association, and Collegiate Farm Bureau. I decided I wanted to become an Agronomy Ambassador because I noticed that several of my friends and peers were asking me about agronomy. After I briefly explained it to everyone I realized that I really enjoyed talking about the different aspects of agronomy. I knew that I would love to assist students in jumping on the bandwagon and joining the coolest major at Purdue so I went ahead and applied to be an Agronomy Ambassador. Interacting with students and faculty that love to advocate about agriculture, and especially agronomy, is such a fun and rewarding activity! \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2491\" src=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/agry\/ambassadorblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0421-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/agry\/ambassadorblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0421-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/agry\/ambassadorblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0421-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/agry\/ambassadorblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0421-352x235.jpg 352w, https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/agry\/ambassadorblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0421.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
