2008 Senior Capstone

Tonight I rode with Bill Allen and his wife Debbie to watch the agriculture journalism capstone juniors and seniors present their capstone at the Missouri Department of Agriculture in Jefferson City. It was neat getting to watch the 11 different videos and audio slide shows done by fellow Ag J'ers. Most of the videos focused on Missouri's forest industry, with a few about farmers markets. The clips will be given to the MDA, who will post the clips on the internet. 

I learned a lot about forestry in Missouri, an area I am unfamiliar with but know feel I have some background on. Also, the MDA provided refreshments of Missouri grown foods, which was an added bonus. Attending the screening included those who had been interviewed for the videos, as well as the Ag J professors, Ag J alums, a handful of MDA staff, as well as a few faculty from Mizzou. It was a nice group with a good turn out to support Mizzou Ag J students. 

When the clips become available on the internet, hopefully I will have link to the following:
