International Agribusiness in Diversified Livestock and Grain Production
Visit a diverse group of livestock, grain and other agribusinesses during this intense and fun-filled, nine day trip to Uruguay. A sampling of the destinations include: large cow-calf and sheep ranches, grass-fed and organic beef and lamb operations, pasture-based dairies, organic vineyards, organic fruit and vegetable producers, large grain and oilseed producers, international grain-merchandisers and several other firms that you probably won’t find in Georgia.

Tomorrow marks my first flight. Obviously it goes without saying that I am nervous about the departure and the trip. I like to…

¡Estoy muy enamorado con la cultura de Suda América! I am very interested in all things Latin: the food, the language, and the culture. It made perfect sense for me to choose Uruguay as my destination for study-abroad. My favorite trip in the whole wide world was my high school excursion to Beijing, China! It…

As we arrived in Atlanta, I immediately missed Uruguay. It was in the 40’s and raining while the week in Uruguay was sunny and 75 degrees. As I start back to classes and work these last few weeks of the semester I think about how grateful I am to have been given the opportunity to…

This trip will be my first time leaving the country (excluding the times of crossing over the border into Canada as an infant). I am not so much as nervous about the actual flight than I am about how long we are supposed to be on the flight. 9 hours. Being a detail oriented person,…
