WVFB Welcomes New Mobile Ag Ed Science Lab Assistant Coordinator The Mobile Ag Education Science Lab will be traveling across the state once again this fall, enabling schoolchildren to understand where their food and fiber comes from. Helping to bring that message is WVFB’s new Mobile Ag Lab Assistant Coordinator Becky Walton. Becky is a Buckhannon native and lives on a farm with husband Mike and children Justin, Catie and Hannah. The Waltons raise Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, chickens for egg production, and have trees and berries which produce a variety of fruits. They also have dogs, cats, horses and rabbits. Becky earned a Bachelor of Science in Recreation and Parks Management with a specialty in Wildlands Recreation from WVU. While there she was inducted into Xi Sigma Pi, the Forestry and Agriculture Honorary. She is certified to teach outdoor education programs, including Project WILD/Project Aquatics, and is a Project Learning Tree facilitator. In her spare (?) time, Becky is pursuing a Masters in Special Education. She is also active with the American Dairy Goat Association, the American Goat Society, and is a Farm Bureau member. Family time is important to Becky, and she and her family like to camp, hunt and fish, and ride 4-wheelers. Becky is also an avid reader and loves baking, photography and learning new skills. We welcome Becky to the West Virginia Farm Bureau family! 18 West Virginia Farm Bureau News No. 1 Selling Tractor In The World!!
