SHOW NOTES:
INTRODUCING CEDAR BINGHAM!
Our guest today has a placement SAE, working with animals at a local animal hospital near Rupert, Idaho. And she also has a heart for giving.
Cedar Bingham wanted to do something for a family in need in her community. But the question that lingered was how to do that? She could offer a service, or give a gift, but the family she really wanted to impact needed something like their light or heat bill paid at this expensive time of year.
Cedar came up with a great plan. She would use her talent and create a quilt. Then, this quilt would be raffled off, and the proceeds would be used to pay the heat bill for a family in need. She went to work to create the quilt, but what would it look like? Since this was also a high school project, she decided to make a quilt showing her school spirit.
Cedar created a quilt that is the colors of her high school and says “Minico” right across the front. When we recorded the episode she already had sold several raffle tickets, and there were more to come.
Way to go Cedar!

Support FFA
Donate to FFA – One way that FFA students are able to start small businesses is through an FFA grant of $1,000. In 2014, 141 FFA students received these grants. With your donations, more students can get this head start – pay it forward.
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:
“Because American farmers are able to provide for so many of us, they give more and more of us the freedom to pursue goals and livelihoods beyond growing the food we need to survive.”
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack
