Hello all! My name is Jonathan Starke and I am a junior in Agronomy with a concentration in Crop and Soil Management. I grew up on a family farm in Rush County Indiana and still call this home. Growing up around the farm did not always mean that I wanted to be a part of it. Around middle school is when I decided that agriculture was a part of who I am and decided to become more involved in these endeavors. I started here at Purdue in FYE, First Year Engineering, and was trying to figure out how I would keep the farm a part of me. I decided that the School of Engineering was not the place for me and quickly fell into the family known as the Agronomy Department.<\/p>\n
Along with being an Agronomy Ambassador I am involved here at Purdue with the Agronomy Club. At home I am involved in the local volunteer fire department, along with helping with 4-H, Fair board, and still try to occasionally help with FFA when I can. I enjoy photography and videography. I enjoy playing game from cards to sports to video games. I also enjoy reading from time to time and overall getting to know people. I hope to get to know some of you who are interested in Agronomy, and hope to just outreach for this wonderful department that has taken me in and given me a home here at Purdue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
