Three Nebraska students had the opportunity to travel to Taiwan last week for an exchange program between the Nebraska Department of Agriculture and the National Taichung Agricultural Senior High School. Grant Suddarth is a senior at York High School, and he says they experienced lots of differences between the United States and Taiwan.

Suddarth, along with Collin Thompson from Eustis and Jacob Wilkins from Ainsworth, toured local farms, toured research facilities, and enjoyed sightseeing. Suddarth says the highlight of their experience was the people.

The students will take their experiences to prepare a presentation for the 2015 Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute in Lincoln, where they first learned about the exchange opportunity.
