Good morning Missouri Farm Bureau! It is a beautiful sunny day to get out and VOTE!! I am going to as soon as I finish my classes today! One of the benefits of going to Mizzou is the beautiful scenery on this campus. This is Memorial Union and I get to walk past it every day I am on campus. So get out, enjoy the fall colors and VOTE!! —— Charlie Ebbesmeyer is taking over our Instagram page for our #TakeoverTuesday Charlie is from Fayette, Missouri and is currently a senior at the University of Missouri where he is studying Plant Sciences.

My first class of the day is Forage Crop Managment. So far we have covered pasture establishment and renovation, nutritive value of forages for ruminant livestock, and identification of these forages. Today, we are talking about production of hay, specifically proper curing of hay before baleing it up. Many of you may know that hay production is in short supply around Missouri this year due to the drought this past summer. Fortunately, many farmers were able to get a second cutting of hay off their fields this fall. 🌾🌾🌾 I grew up on a cow/calf operation, and spent my summers during high school on a tractor mowing, raking and baleing hay, so hay production has always intrigued me. This is my favorite class this semester, as it gives insight on a sector of plant production that is different than crop production. 🌾🌾🌾 Charlie Ebbesmeyer is taking over our Instagram page for our #TakeoverTuesday 🌾🌾🌾 Charlie is from Fayette, Missouri and is currently a senior at the University of Missouri where he is studying Plant Sciences.

My last class of the day is actually a lab for a greenhouse Managment class I am taking. We are required to propagate and care for Poinsettias and Mums all semester. We propagated them by cutting stems and adding growth hormones to them to promote root growth. I take care of them each week and I can take them home at the end of the semester. They will make great presents for my family at Christmas time. Even though I am not all that interested in greenhouse Managment, I find this class very interesting and different from my normal crop production classes. I have learned here at Mizzou that, even if something does not sound interesting at first, it is important to keep an open mind, because you never know what you may end up learning!—— Charlie Ebbesmeyer is taking over our Instagram for our #TakeoverTuesday today!—— Charlie is from Fayette, Missouri and is currently a senior at the University of Missouri where he is studying Plant Sciences.

On my way home to vote I saw a few sings promoting Prop D, so I decided to take a picture of one. MOFB supports Prop D for better, safer roads.

I voted! I am proud to be from a country that allows me to vote for those who will represent me at the local, state and national level. When I was young I would follow my parents to the polls and watch them vote and I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to vote! As soon as I turned 18, I started voting and have never missed an opportunity to practice my right to vote! Why do you vote?—— Charlie Ebbesmeyer is taking over our Instagram for our #TakeoverTuesday today!—— Charlie is from Fayette, Missouri and is currently a senior at the University of Missouri where he is studying Plant Sciences.
