My name is Maddie Brink and I am one of your new agronomy ambassadors! Here is a little about me: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I am from a small town just south of Holland, MI. Although I didn\u2019t actually grow up on a farm, I grew up around agriculture my whole life. My family owns a trucking business that specializes in agricultural commodities. My mom is an agronomist who has a private practice where she primarily helps farmers put together manure and fertilizer plans for their fields. I learned to love agriculture, and from a young age I knew I would someday work in it myself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When I chose Purdue for agronomy, I surprised a lot of people by not going to Michigan State. My family has a long line of Michigan State graduates, but after I have spent a year here, I know Purdue was the right university for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Here on campus I am very involved. Along with being an ambassador, I am the crops manager for Agronomy club. I also am part of the crops judging team which is one of my favorite things I do. This semester I became a manager for the men\u2019s swim team here at Purdue. Although it\u2019s a big time commitment, I am really enjoying it. On top of all of that, I also have a job at a local farm where I help with harvest in the fall. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Outside of school, I like to spend my time with my family and friends. My family loves to go camping and boating. I love to see new places and I\u2019ve been to almost every state. I live an incredibly blessed life and every day at Purdue I am reminded of that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I am looking forward to the rest of this semester and being an agronomy ambassador!
