When she was a freshman, Emily Hoyt of the Audrain Co. R-VI FFA Chapter in Missouri was encouraged to take part in an Ag in the Classroom program. She was soon challenged to grow the existing program and even applied for Ag Ed on the Move, a program that provides resources to teach 10 lessons on agriculture commodities to third grade classrooms. She incorporated hands-on activities to apply the concepts before teaching the lesson. Hoyt also has an unpaid internship with the school district, serving as a teaching assistant for the seventh and eighth grade exploring agriculture classes. Hoyt is supported by her parents, Becky and Brad.
She shares more with Broadcast Desk Intern Michelle Stangler.
