Essays Tying everything to agriculture By Lena Elizabeth Roskens Twenty years ago, many people could hardly imagine the year 2000, because it seemed to be so far away. In fact, many also thought that if we even made it to 2000, everyone would be riding around in spaceships and wearing clothes like the Jetsons. Oh, and one more thing -I don't think I even own any clothes like the Jetsons would wear. However, as we approach the new millennium, some wonder about the conditions of the road ahead in 2010. Based on my experiences, I hope that 10 years from now my expectations for Iowa will become reality.
Many people believe Iowa has an edge in the field of education right now.
If everything goes according to plan, in 2010 students completely exposed to these learning and career-preparation skills will be entering the work force. More and more, it seems that everything is tying into one area -agriculture. Of course, agriculture has always been particularly important in Iowa's economic growth. Another point to consider is that throughout the years, it has always played a major role in supporting Iowa households and communities. Fortunately, a sturdy foundation is being built today in Iowa's classrooms so that everyone will benefit in the future.
