🐅 Mizzou Animal Science Leadership Academy Update! 🐅

Olivia Walling recently attended the MU Animal Science Leadership Academy in Columbia! Here’s what Olivia had to say about her week:

💬 "I learned so much at the academy! On the final day, my group presented on animal welfare at the closing reception. We placed second, winning each member a $500 scholarship to Mizzou's CAFNR!

I was terrified at first because I didn't know anyone, but I left with 20 new friends, a great understanding of how food goes from farm to table, and awesome memories touring the Mizzou Vet School and Equine Center!"

Congratulations, Olivia! 🎉👏

🏆 NATIONAL FINALISTS ALERT! 🏆

Huge congratulations to Kylie McRoy and Grace Tucker for being named National FFA Agriscience Fair Finalists! 🎉👏

Their research project, "The Correlation of Blood Pressure when Interacting with a Farm versus Companion Animal," explored how interacting with different animals impacts human blood pressure and emotional state. 🐮🐶❤️

🔬 How They Got Here:
After taking first place at the state level with their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) project, Kylie and Grace submitted their written report to the national level, where top entries from across the country were selected to advance.

Now, they're heading to the National FFA Convention & Expo to present their research to a panel of judges and be recognized live on stage! 🌟

Appropriately called the Plant Science Corridor, St. Louis is a powerhouse for agriculture technology and innovation."
