Tom Walsh

Why did you join the board?

I love giving back to agriculture making sure kids understand where their food comes from and why we have implemented some of the practices in caring for the land and our livestock. We as farmers do this every day and Agriculture in the Classroom is a great venue to explain this.

What MAITC program or initiative are you most passionate about and why?

I enjoy getting in front of kids to speak to them about agriculture. I am passionate about tours for kids and adults as I think it's the best way to see what farmers do on a day to day basis.

What is your favorite agricultural product and why?

It’s a tie between milk and beef! Both are great ways to get great nutrition and fuel up your body.

What is your profession?

I’m a partner at Riverview and my family also crop farms and have a herd of hereford cows.
