	Description:		SHOW NOTES *INTRODUCING SAMANTHA LONG!* So many of my listeners love horses, wish they could figure out a way to work with them full-time and don’t know the answer to this question. Today I am introducing you to a senior in high school who is determined to make this happen, and is figuring it out. Samantha Long has not only started her own horse business, but she has developed a business model that offers multiple streams of income so she does not become overly reliant on one part of the horse world. Samantha is currently training horses for clients, and she has plans to put on a paid for horse clinic this spring. Also, she has purchased rescue horses, trained them with the goal of saving them from slaughter and making a profit off of the value she is adding to these horses. Samantha is determined and ahead of schedule with having people pay her to come to her clinic while she is still in high school. She is also very active marketing her business, and even has a Facebook page to facilitate growth in her business.

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 Where Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald Can Be Heard: Member Of The National Association Of Farm Broadcasters
