With the coming of each new season, Dal Aggie Tracy Marques (DTech'08) reflects on and appreciates their agricultural journey and lifestyle. For the last 15 years, Tracy has been working in the agriculture and pet industries learning all about what's needed to make their companion animals and livestock healthier and happier. Many days are started helping out on a dairy farm; milking cows and feeding calves and then continuing the day working full-time doing inside sales at Kane Veterinary Supplies assisting in distributing Agri and Pet supplies across Canada.

Tracy is now excited to share that since last November they have begun their own homesteading journey with 2 Border Collie Heelers pups, and chickens! Tracy is looking forward to many more years of homesteading and getting the opportunity to learn even more about themselves along with the plants and animals they raise. Tracy wishes to extend their thanks to their Aggie family and the Enterprise Management education obtained at the Agricultural Campus in Truro.

"I was enveloped in the world of dairy and companion animals and I have kept it all in my life ever since!'
