Grace Platte is one of our Michigan Ag Council Ambassadors. She’s studying agricultural education at Michigan State University, and she works two jobs – she manages social media for the College of Agricultural & Natural Resources, and she works for MSU Extension - Chronic Wasting Disease. Grace didn’t grow up on a farm, but she became interested in her friend’s pigs and became involved in 4-H and FFA, where she was a state officer. She loves advocating for agriculture in her professional and personal life. She also likes golfing, hanging out with her friends, and visiting the Thumb.

Listen as Grace talks about:

• Her advice on intimidation
• Finding out why farmers love what they do
• Her dog Harper, who is going to live with her in the sorority house
• How a year at MSU will look like with COVID changes
• Relating to people about farming
