The Battlefield


The scholars conference has left DC and we are currently in Gettysburg Pennsylvania. The states Department of Agriculture has been extremely supportive of us and are fantastic hosts. We had a day on the Gettysburg battlefield (a defining moment in the US civil war) and spoke leadership with President Lincoln.
We went and saw a massive 24oo cow shedded dairy and met one of the worlds most innovative farmers. Many of the issues we have at home are common right around the world eg. land prices, farmers age and opportunities for young people to get into farming are limited
