Will Gilmer's Visit

Mr. Gilmer's Visit to Class

The thing that I enjoyed the most out Will Gilmer's guest lecture was how down to earth he was when speaking to the class. This made him very easy to listen to and having him speak to the class was a very enjoyable lecture. What he is doing for agriculture is phenomenal and there needs to be more people making an effort to do the great things he is doing. His willingness to open his farm and personal life to the world to better agriculture is a very selfless act that will for the most part go unappreciated. It was just so refreshing to hear someone regularly young taking a stand for agriculture and doing it in such a public way.
