The Fibers of our Nation
The United States has a long history of fiber crop production, starting back in the 1600’s! Although we are not the leading producer of cotton, wool or hemp, we are still a key player in where these products are today. Using references from the Matrix such as “Growing a Nation: Seeds of Change” and “Wool Ewe Keep Me Warm?” (companion video), the Cotton Boll and Wool Spinning Kits, plus added information about the importance of hemp fiber in today’s world, we will weave stories together about the good ‘ol days and the rich history of the fibers of our nation!

TESS SOUTHERN
(), CORNELL COOP EXT OF MADISON COUNTY, TAS264@CORNELL.EDU;
Education has always been at the forefront of everything that I do. From working on the farm, to joining 4-H, learning a trade and completing college, I have always sought additional opportunities to grow, learn and educate. In my career, I am an Agricultural Educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension, where I educate producers and consumers alike on the ag industry. I also help to prepare all of the lessons for our local Ag in the Classroom program. Recently, I was appointed to the NY Ag in the Classroom Advisory Committee because of the passion and dedication I have for this amazing program. In my spare time, I volunteer with our local Dairy Promotion Committee, serve as a 4-H Leader and can always be found spending time with my son and our dog.

I grew up in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY where my passion for youth development and agriculture began. As a kid, I became active in 4-H and the equine industry I quickly realized that was my niche. After my first year of college at Rochester Institute of Technology studying film, I realized I needed to go back to my roots. I continued my education at Cazenovia College in Central New York, where I later earned my B.P.S in Equine Business Management. During those three years I was an active member of the Hunter Seat, Western, and Dressage collegiate equestrian teams and completed three internships with 4-H/Cooperative Extension. This was where I learned that I thrived working with youth and led to my job now as the 4-H Animal Science Educator at Madison County Cooperative Extension. I currently live in Liverpool, NY with my boyfriend and rescue dog, Kodi.
