From working on her family’s alfalfa and wheat farm in southeastern Idaho to teaching agricultural students in Italy, Saydee Longhurst has made sharing agriculture’s story a priority. An FFA alumna and former Idaho FFA state president, Longhurst uses social media to help people understand what farmers do and the opportunities available across the agriculture industry. She joins this week’s episode of Dirt Diaries with Kirbe Schnoor, which is set to release tomorrow.
