Ag in the Classroom

a shorthorn heifer calf visits 2nd grade students

 
I pulled the truck and trailer into the parking lot. A Shorthorn cow and heifer calf of mine visited the elementary school in Altona. The visit was for a lesson through Knox County Ag in the Classroom. I had the exciting opportunity to speak with 2nd grade students about beef cattle. So much fun! It is was a joy talking to the students about raising cattle on my family's 3rd generation farm. As always, I loved sharing my love of cattle! The kids liked seeing the two day old calf. And, I love seeing the excitement of the students learning about beef cattle!

4-H

 
 
This is a photo tribute to my love of 4-H. For 10 years, I was an active member of the Walnut Grove Progressors 4-H club in Knox County. Through the years in 4-H, I enjoyed and valued my experiences. And to this day, I truly cherish those experiences and memories. As a 4-H member, cattle and photography were projects that became lifelong passions. It was in 4-H where my love of photography came into focus. Over the years, my love further developed and into a career in agriculture photography.

Agriculture is what I know, love, and appreciate. Through my photographs, I am able to share my love of agriculture with others. My photos are from a unique perspective...a woman raising cattle. Photography is a love I love sharing. View my collection of agriculture photos at monicastevens.photoshelter.com.
