One staff member said this event is a great way to continue to spread the need for agriculture in Iowa.
'Siouxland is really founded in agriculture,' said Dee McKenna, Experiential Learning Coordinator at Morningside University. 'You look around and it's cattle and corn, and we're very proud of the history that we have. We want Siouxland agriculture to continue to grow and thrive, so it's really important for us to invest in inspiring and sharing knowledge with each other.'
Morningside University plans to make this an annual event.

'Although I have done three tours out in the nation's capital, I consider myself a member of the 185th, you know, enlisted here 25 years ago. It's kind of a family affair. You still see a lot of the same faces, so same mission said, so it should be a fairly easy transition,' commented Colonel Adam Carlson. The mission of the 185th Air Refueling Wing is to provide ready Airmen to support global strategic competition, nuclear deterrence, and aerial refueling across federal and state missions.
