Hi, I'm Amanda! My family farms corn and soybeans in Southwest Michigan. I'm also a practicing attorney.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder declared today #SpartanGreenDay in honor of the Michigan State (an awesome agricultural school) football team playing in the B1G Championship game Saturday night against the Iowa Hawkeyes. I’m an avid #Spartan football fan and even got my farmer dad to dress up!
Are you showing any Spartan (er…or Hawkeye) spirit this weekend? Let me see!!
