Teaching the importance of agriculture

For Caroline Weihl of Perrysburg, a junior in agricultural communications at The Ohio State University and one of the co-chairs of the Micki Zartman Scarlet and Gray Ag Day that was held Friday, April 19, all of the time planning and putting the event on was well worth it.

“Definitely, I mean there’s nothing better than seeing the students learning and getting to understand more about what I’m passionate about, what everybody on this committee is passionate about and knowing that our future is in better hands because of this event,” ,” said Weihl.
