Whose Polo Will You Wear?

Ali Nation

The 2015 Farm Progress Show was packed with proud agriculture companies showing off their latest technology. As I walked around the show, I observed the features of each company’s display and how they were similar and different from one another. First noticeable similarity: each company had its own polo. First noticeable difference: each company had its own polo. The very thing that each company had in common was the very thing that set them apart. Red, green, and black, the list of colors goes on. It got me thinking. Whose polo do I want to where? What logo do I want to represent? 

As college students, we sometimes forget that we can be our own employer. We cannot forget about entrepreneurship that stems from original ideas and hard work. I have always dreamed of owning my own business. Maybe I will own my family’s farm or maybe I will come up with an original idea. No matter what it is, I want to wear my own polo. I want that logo to represent my hard work. Farm Progress Show showed me that I want to contribute to the progression of farming in my own way, in my own polo.
