“Hello! My name is Brandi Henderson and I am one of the summer interns for Elkhart County Soil and Water Conservation District. I am from Goshen, Indiana where I was highly involved in 4-H and FFA. I showed cattle, sheep, hogs, and goats, also I served many offices as an FFA member. I will be a Junior transferring to Purdue in the fall, I attended Eastern Oklahoma State College where I was a member of the livestock judging team. I have a dual major in Agriculture Education and Animal Science, my hope is to become an Agriculture Education teacher. Interning at SWCD will allow me to gain more knowledge about the conservation side of Agriculture, more specifically soil and water. This summer you shall see me doing Rule 5 Site Visits, taking part in research, educating youth and community members. Don’t be afraid to come say “hello” if you see me visiting your projects!”
