Winning Essay by 2012 Fair Queen & 2013 New Jersey Agricultural Fair Ambassador, Anna Mathews When people think of agriculture, they often think of it as a business or trade—corn and soybeans, cows and horses, or the latest model of tractor. It is physical, the proverbial “plant, animal or mineral,” and nothing more. But, when I think of agriculture I think of my friends in 4- H and FFA trotting around the fairground arena on their horses or exhibiting their calves in the livestock barn. I think of stacking hay bales in the heat of summer with my family or driving behind my neighbor’s tractor, going twenty miles an hour down our county road. No matter who you are, living in a place that is defined by agriculture will lend similar experiences. To me, these experiences are the face of agriculture. Growing up in Warren County on my family’s hay and livestock farm, I have been a part of this community for as long as I can remember. My family has been a member of the agricultural community in Warren County for over eighty years. When my greatgrandfather settled in White Township, New Jersey, he farmed everything from vegetables to dairy cows. Through four generations of farming, the love of agriculture is still deeply embedded in the heart and soul of my family. Since I was nine, I have been doing my part to continue this legacy by helping out on the farm every summer and by exhibiting my horses and rabbits at the county fair. I joined 4-H when I was seven and spent the last twelve years participating in events like Horse Bowl, Hippology and Horse Judging. I learned to swallow my fear of speaking through presentations at my county extension office, responsibility by caring for my animals during fair week, and the value of hard work by spending entire days stacking hay bales in a hot barn. All of this leads me to believe that there is more to agriculture than what is materially tangible. Agriculture is more than growing corn or feeding livestock; it’s a mindset, a lifestyle, an inexplicable part of what it means to be human. It is why my family and I are proud to call ourselves farmers. It is why people who have lived in suburbia all of their lives still refer, with pride, to themselves as citizens of “the Garden State.” Here in New Jersey we have many different kinds of people; suburbanites and log-cabin dwellers, equestrians and dairy farmers, republicans and democrats. And it is why, even though not all of us are “real-life” farmers, we come out every year to our county fairs to see the fruits of another year of hard work. We do this because we are agriculturalists at heart. We have all smelled the cow manure while driving with the windows down. We have woken up at five 53 o’clock in the morning to care for a sick animal, and we have picked sun-ripened raspberries off the bushes in our backyards. I go to college in New York City now, a place that no one would ever connect with agriculture, yet I see it everywhere I go: in the window boxes, in the greenhouse rooftops, and on the sidewalks where people grow squash in light pole gardens. Agriculture is everywhere, not just on the farm. It is the common thread that ties us into a community of people that stretches across property, county, state, and national lines. Agriculture is an absolutely certain and inescapable part of what it means to be human. It is food for the soul. Agriculture is many things, including corn and soybeans, but agriculture is also about people. It forms the foundation for the best kind of community, by teaching us to have strong character, good morals, and to value the ethic of hard work. It forms a bond between people of all ages, ethnicities, and lifestyles, and keeps that bond strong through drought and storm. Agriculture is what my New Jersey community is built on, and agriculture is what will keep it going strong. † $6,299 Model: 5901214 Frank Rymon & Sons, Inc.
