Let the Flying begin, South Korea here I come

Hello, with a little over a week till I leave for South Korea my mind is driving me nuts. I must say that I have been all over the United States but going out of the country was something that I never thought that I would get an opportunity to do. Let alone be on a plane. Since I started to attend Penn State University the chance for me to travel abroad came about twice in one year. My choices were to go to Germany or to South Korea. I chose South Korea because it relates most to my major as an Ag Educator.

When the opportunity for me to travel to South Korea came about I could not believe it. I have been thinking, since I started attending Penn State, how could I use my education to better the world. Going to South Korea is just one way for me to do that. I found a source from the Library of Congress Country Studies on how South Korea's agriculture has changed over many of years. Here is the link: http://countrystudies.us/south-korea/52.htm

After reading this I was most impressed with how much the land and the number of agricultural workers numbers have changed. South Korea has gone through many rough spots from a major land reform and the growth of urban areas. It shows that the percent of South Korea's contribution in agriculture has been dropping a great deal.

Through-out this trip I not only hope but know that I will be gain the knowledge of how others around the world do agricultural along with how different/alike the FFA and FFK's are.

Please keep following our blog and see what great knowledge and fun we all will achieve from this great opportunity
