SHOW NOTES
INTRODUCING MAGGIE BALDWIN!
This episode could not be any better timed or titled. Our guest today loves cattle, the FFA and all the mentors that have helped her along the way. When Maggie Baldwin was a young girl her parents gave her a Brown Swiss heifer for her Christmas present. Are those great parents or what!
Today Maggie is very active in the FFA and is serving as her chapter's president. She purchased a holstein heifer in addition to "Peaches" the Brown Swiss cow as time went along, and she has been growing her herd. She has a great arrangement with a local dairy that allows her to keep her cows productive, have somewhere to raise them and get a calf out of them every year.
Maggie has great advice for other students and does not take the wisdom of others lightly. And you should hear what she wants to do in the future. This was a great interview!

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
