My reign with the Miss United States Agriculture Scholarship Program is officially over. It has been an amazing experience to be able to advocate for agriculture to many different groups in different states.
I started my journey with the platform Unifying Agriculture and bringing awareness to all the different areas of agriculture, including farming, ranching, and rodeo. As I noticed the common challenges in all of these areas, I became more involved in speaking about mental health challenges in agriculture.
I will be stepping back into rodeo pageants as I compete next week for Miss Teen Rodeo Kansas, but with or without a title I will continue to advocate for farming, ranching, and rodeo. I wish the best to my ag pageant sisters in their endeavors as we work together to teach, inspire, and advocate!
