SHOW NOTES
INTRODUCING MADILYNN MAGRUDER!
Our guest today has the most creative way of naming livestock that I have heard of yet. Madilynn Magruder’s parents introduced her to the television show, The Dukes Of Hazzard, when she was younger, and she started watching. She became a fan, and that fandom has stuck.
Now, when Madilynn names one of her animals she thinks of the Duke boys first. She has a lamb named Daisy, had an animal named Roscoe and has one named Cooter. That was a lot of fun for me to recount Dukes Of Hazzard names with her.
Madilynn is not all about livestock names though. She was inspired by her cousin to join the FFA and take advantage of the opportunities that were there for her. Today he is getting ready to start her junior year of high school and serve on her chapter’s officer team for the first time. She has also been awarded star farmer and a proficiency at her chapter level so far.

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
