Author: Lacy Fitzpatrick
Hello CAFNR! My name is Lacy Fitzpatrick, and I am a freshman from Eldon, Missouri (that town you stop in to get gas on your way to Lake of the Ozarks). It may not be the biggest or the most interesting town, but it is where I call home. I am currently an agriculture major, but I am taking classes in science and agricultural journalism, agricultural education, hospitality management and business management because I have no idea what I want to do with my life.

I am looking forward to writing for CAFNR Corner Post, as it gives me practical experience in the methods and styles of the journalism industry. I cannot wait to see what this semester has in store for me.
