	Description:		SHOW NOTES INTRODUCING JUSTIN SCOTT! Our guest today appears to have found his calling. Justin Scott has grown up farming and is now studying agribusiness at Kent State while also farming full-time. He works on three different operations and farms on his own as well. This is what led him to become a 2019 National Proficiency winner in diversified crop production. When Justin gets done with work for the day he is still involved in farming. This is through his photography business, JTS Agricultural Photography. Justin takes excellent photos of farm scenes from both his drone and conventional cameras. He really has an eye for photography and I love the shots he gets. There is no question when speaking with Justin just how much passion he has for agriculture. He is setting himself up for a great life, surrounded by crops and livestock and photographs of what he loves!

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.”.
