My name is Mark Vande Haar and I am a junior at Pella Christain High School. I have a passion for agriculture and anything farm related. I have grown up always working with family members on their farms, growing crops and tending to livestock. I feel that it is very crucial for the agriculture world to be more developed and improved as the demand for food is increasing with the ever increasing population. I have traveled to Haiti on a mission trip and experienced first hand how food shortages can be devastating to a family. So often we take for granted the pleasures of having all our supplies so close to us and being able to get whatever we need when we need. We need to start thinking outside of just our lives and take what we have been blessed with and use it to bless others.
