Well after a very exciting and fun trip to Argentina and Uruguay we all made it back home safe. The trip was a very exciting two weeks. This trip half way around the world was inspiring and eye-opening for everyone. I signed up for this class because I thought this trip would give me the unique opportunity to travel and observe agriculture in different countries, something I am very passionate about.
At the beginning of the semester, we started to prepare for
our trip. During class once a week we
covered materials needed to get into the country, learned general Spanish terms, studied the
culture of South America, and discussed in depth about their agriculture practices, policy
and crops, etc.
This trip was great learning experience that many of us said
we would take again if we had the opportunity. All of the farmers we visited
with were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. All of us were surprised with
how similar the farming practices were in Argentina and Uruguay compared to
home in the Midwest.
Everyone had a great time on this trip, but I think
everyone was ready to get back home to their friends and family. We thank everyone of you that followed us on our adventure to Argentina and Uruguay and everyone who supported us on our trip.
