Hey Y’all! <\/h2>\n

My name is Breawna Caldwell. I grew up right here in Boilermaker country, about 20 miles from Purdue in rural Frankfort, IN. I graduated from Clinton Prairie High School in 2019. That makes this my Junior year here at Purdue. I am double majoring in Agronomy: Crop and Soil Management and Agribusiness: Commodity Marketing. I have a minor in Farm Management. <\/p>\n

At Purdue, I am involved in a couple different clubs and opportunities outside of class. Of course, I am an Agronomy Ambassador. I am also an Agronomy Friend, which is a peer mentoring program within Agronomy. Sigma Alpha, a professional agriculture sorority, is also an organization I am a member of. I work as a TA for AGRY 255 and in the Soil Resource Center during the week. Outside of Purdue, I serve as the Assistant Goat Superintendent for the Clinton County 4-H program. I am the previous Miss Clinton County 2020 and will be competing at the State Fair in 2022 for Miss Indiana State Fair. <\/p>\n

In my free time, I enjoy anything nature related. I have a mild obsession for all things plants. I love taking my dog, Sadie, hiking. I also have a cat, named Salsa, that I rescued in high school and brought to Purdue with me. I am an avid hunter for whitetail deer, pheasant, and raccoon. My dad and I have a kennel and raise Labrador Retrievers to hunt pheasants with, so I have grown up loving dogs. I spend as much time as I can on our family farm during the spring and fall. I have worked as an intern at ABG Ag Services for the last two years and developed a passion for agricultural research at the plot level, as well as farming. <\/p>\n

I have always had a passion for Agronomy that was inspired at a young age by my dad and my bother, Zachary. I became an Agronomy Ambassador to share that passion with others around me. I want to show prospective students why Purdue is the best place to get their education and more specifically, why the Agronomy department is. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness. <\/p>Thomas Jefferson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
