Description: SHOW NOTES Introducing Sean Westergaard!  Sean has an awesome and non-traditional supervised agricultural experience.  He is cleaning and maintaining gutters in his town and the four towns around him.  He has identified his target customer, which is the elderly.  As I was thinking about this it dawned on me that by providing this service Sean might actually save a life.  If there was nobody there to provide this service an older person might climb a latter that just should not.  A fall from that height could be devastating.  So, luckily they have Sean there to do it for them!

REASONS TO DONATE TO FFA: Only 2% of Americans grow and raise most of the food and livestock consumed by the other 98% as well as the rest of the world.  FFA is providing the needed education, training and resources to Americans that will carry that torch forward and insure that America continues to have inexpensive, quality food. Rural Communities will rely on entrepreneurship in the future for population growth and job creation.  The FFA is a major catalyst to that entrepreneurial growth. Farmers, ranchers and those working in agriculture give the rest of America incredible amounts of freedom because the search for food is as simple as going to the grocery store: “The future of American agriculture depends on the involvement and investment in America’s youth, In order to prepare for the population of tomorrow, we need to encourage America’s youth today, and show that careers in agriculture are profitable, rewarding, and vital.”.
