How have you been involved in agriculture over the years?
“We live on a farm and help with all of the work there; haying and dealing with livestock and cows. I was on the FFA Meats judging team in 2022. We placed 13th in the district, but I learned a lot. I received the Ag Mechanic Award in FFA in 2022.”
What are some other things you enjoy?
“I mainly enjoy just working on the farm and with the cows, but also maintaining the equipment and learning to know the many things about the everyday life of a farmer.”
What do you enjoy most about agriculture?
“Learning the different things about animals.”
What are your future plans?
“I want to run the farm with my family, but I also want to own my own personal business and be a mechanic.”
