	Description:		SHOW NOTES *INTRODUCING TABOR BUDDY!* Today’s guest is our second from Waynoka High School in Oklahoma. Tabor Buddy is deeply involved in diversified crop production. He is growing wheat, alfalfa, milo and sesame with his father and learning from dad every day. Tabor gave me the best answer ever to a question about working with his dad. When I asked him how he handles the relationship with his father who is also his mentor and teacher he replied to “just be quiet and do what your dad says.” That is probably the best advice ever given on this show! Tabor has his sights set on farming, and he is learning a lot. He is also applying for proficiency awards and looking to build his FFA resume. He loves being in the tractor and working on the farm, and I was able to picture it as we spoke.

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: “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.”.
