Meet Taryn Cox, our new editorial intern! We asked Taryn why she is proud to be a part of Ag and this is what she said:

For me, being a part of agriculture was never an option. I was raised on a commercial yearling operation in southeast Washington and now run registered Red Angus pairs with my family. This industry is something that runs through me so deep, and it is the part of me that I am most proud of.

Welcome Taryn! We're so excited to have you with us.
