Growing up in, "Cajun Country," has made me realize how much I am AGRICULTURE PROUD. Agriculture is a neccessity in EVERY person's life one way or another; being from south Louisiana, where agriculture plays a major role in our lifestyle, has shown me how many people depend on agriculture to make a living. My picture symbolizes the agricultural products my family and I raise such as rice, Brangus cattle, and crawfish. -- Allison Deshotel
