TEPAP Testimonials

“TEPAP has changed my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but being in Texas for a week with people that all want to keep agriculture alive and thrive, really lights a fire in my soul. The advisors and speakers are some of the best in agriculture and having an opportunity to interact with them face to face is an experience that is unforgettable. The stories that they share and the stories of the other attendees are something that I will hold in my heart forever. You will hear the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows, but to be able to share that experience with the other attendees will create lifelong friendships that will be treasured forever.”
