Statement Of Purpose: Farm Bureau

370 Words2 Pages

To me, Farm Bureau means advocacy for the voices of the people. I served as a page in the Maryland Senate, where we were allowed to attend committee hearings. During both session and these hearings, I saw Farm Bureau members on several occasions. They were voicing their thoughts on proposed bills, they were present in groups of young people touring their state’s capital building, they were being recognized and congratulated by members of the General Assembly, and they were lobbyists and members of the Senate and House of Delegates themselves. Farm Bureau
The institution I attend is an out-of-state college, women’s college. Many people misunderstand my decision to attend a “girls’ school”, but it is quite simple: it has given me the opportunity

  • Farm City Summary

    1122 Words  | 5 Pages

    In many ways, Farm City is a political book that touches areas that the city population didn’t know existed. When we imagine a farm we think large vast area with perfect sunny weather and huge sum of produce. What we learn from this book is that we can be a farmer with just planting a pot of vegetation by the windowsill or keeping a pet rabbit with intent to kill it and consume it. I spontaneously went to the flee market one Sunday and came across some rabbits. I currently am raising a bunny in my apartment that I adore and although I might not kill it myself, I heard rabbit’s meat is delicious.
