My favorite blogger in the entire world, aside from Beef Matters and FarmWife Blog, is The PioneerWoman. Please don't drop me like a fly once you have read her amazing blog posts (she blogs and takes pictures for a living, and I'm just a little college student with a passion for agriculture). Let's face it though, she is witty, spunky, fun, and I like her. She was a city girl in black highheels who fell in love with a rancher and lives in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma on a cattle ranch. Her name is Ree, and she blogs about her adventures everyday. She has over 25,000 hits a day. Basically, she rocks, but PLEASE don't quit reading my blog my dear friends.
Anyway, the reason I mention Pioneer Woman is that she always gives her readers a chance to ask her questions about herself. I figured it was high time to do the same with you guys. So here is your opportunity to ask me the ins and outs of what makes a college girl with a passion for fighting animal rights activists tick. Why do I have a radio show and freelance write when I could be hanging out with friends instead? Why is beef and dairy so great, and why do I care? Why am I so passionate about what I do?
I know I said I wouldn't post again til 2008, and I promise I'm sticking to it. I just kind of missed all of you readers out there. So you have a few days before 2008 rings in. Now don't be shy...Gather your questions for me and simply leave them in the comments box below. I'll review them and answer them as we begin this great new year together! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Can't wait to chat with all of you once again! :)
With love,
Amanda

As a college gal/post beef ambassador myself, I know the challenges of promoting beef and animal ag in general with a predominatly naive, close-minded campus. Often times, people do not want to hear what you have to say, do not agree with what you say, or don't understand why you say what you do. How do you overcome the negative and uneducated comments your peers say in regards to the beef/dairy industry? Do you ever think, "maybe I should shut up on this one.?" I guess what I'm getting at is do you ever let peer presure influence what you say and when you speak up?
Thanks Amanda and Happy New Year!!

When did your passion to promote agriculture blossom? Have you always been this way or was there one certain event in your life that made you sit back and say,"I want to promote agriculture with a vengence!"

Did you read my article about Carrie Underwood entitled:
"Maybe Next Time She'll Think Before She Eats"?

Right now, my only question is this:
WHERE ARE YOU AMANDA?
It's been 4 days since the ball dropped and you've disappeared. I hope you are with family and/or friends and having so much fun that you've forgot about us "little people' who depend on your strength and beyond your years wisdom. After all, your still young! Have fun while you still can!

How does one become a Beef Ambassador? Could I be one, for example?
Have the challenges of being one adversely effected your grades at University or are you kicking, shall we say, rump roast?
Have you always been this passionate about what you believe?
How supportive have your family and friends been to you through this crusade of yours?
Are you sorry you opened the floor for questions?
