INTRODUCING LILY GISCLAIR!
Today we get to profile a new beef production legacy from Louisiana. Usually when we talk to families with a cattle raising tradition it goes back several generations and has not recently been started. With that in mind, Lily Gisclair’s story is about the beginning of one of these legacies.
When Lily was four years old her grandfather started giving her and her brother cattle from a herd that he had started. Today that herd has grown from somewhere between 40 & 50 head spread between her, her brother and her parents. Lily has every intention of carrying this tradition forward and eventually including her own children. It is great to see the start of a tradition like this.
Lily has been serving has her chapter’s president for the past three years. She just graduated, and she plans on attending Oklahoma State University this fall and studying agricultural education and agricultural communications.

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
