Today is National Agraculture Day, a day to take a close look at what the ag industry does for you.
Many think about their food the most when they cook or buy it, but Manitowoc County Ag Educator Angie Ulness reminds residents that those products don’t just appear in the grocery store.
“When you think about where your fuel, food, and fiber comes from, you don’t really recognize it every day that the clothes you are wearing and the food that you are eating is all produced by someone’s hands,” she said. “It’s a labor of love.”
Ulness tells us that she loves her career and the people she works with every day.
“I’m proud to be one of the dairy farmers,” she told Seehafer News, “but I am also very proud to work alongside so many resilient, strong, business-minded caretakers of the animals and land.”
Unless explained, all producers in the County, the state, and the world are always trying to “improve soil health and water quality, and trying to do what’s best for our families. That’s all for the benefit of feeding the world.”
