Hello and welcome to episode 1 of the Fields and Forests podcast. I am your host Erin Keith and I’m excited to bring you this conversation with Mr. Owen Thomason. He is the Diversified Agriculture Program Chair at Emmanuel University. He brings over 36 years of experience in agriculture education to this conversation and I think you will really like hearing his perspective about agriculture and education. We talk about his past experience, some of his thoughts on current agriculture practices, and valuable information about the Agriculture Program at Emmanuel University. So sit back and enjoy this conversation with Mr. Owen Thomason.
