What is your involvement in agriculture?
“My involvement in agriculture is being an FFA member and I am an officer for my chapter.”
What is your favorite part about living in the country?
“Although I do not live on a farm, being surrounded by local farms and farmers encourages me to learn more about farms and what it takes to have one.”
What are your future plans?
“My plans for the future are to continue my love of agriculture and FFA by becoming an agriculture teacher.”
Who has been your biggest influence?
“My biggest influence has been my ag advisor, Jason Blair. When I first started taking agriculture classes, I had no interest in FFA or having a future in agriculture. Mr. Blair encouraged me to become involved and inspired me to try my hardest at what I do. Now, I am looking forward to a future in agriculture by becoming an agricultural educator myself. I want to be an inspiration for kids who are unsure of their future, just like my advisor was an inspiration to me.”
