What is your involvement in agriculture?
“I started milking cows for my grandpa, James Vavruska. After he sold the dairy, we mainly work with him in the hay fields producing round and square bales for local farmers.”
What is your favorite part of living on a farm?
“My favorite part about living on a farm is that it shows responsibility and it gives me something to do.”
What are your future plans? Do they involve agriculture in some way?
“In the future, I hope to start my own dairy production operation. I also want to go to college and major in animal science with an emphasis in dairy.”
Who has been your biggest influence and why?
“My grandparents, James and Pat Vavruska, have been my biggest influence. They have showed me how to do everything I know how to do today.”
