As a matter of fact, you can call her a collector of dairy cattle. Rachel Sherman was gifted her very first dairy heifer when she was 4 years of age. Since then she has been building her herd, and today she has 20 head of dairy cattle. In addition to building this herd, Rachel has an interest in all of the 6 major dairy cattle breeds. Today, she owns at least one cow from each of the major breeds. This passion for dairy cattle and being in the FFA has led Rachel to the biggest stage in the FFA. At the 2019 National FFA Convention she won a national proficiency award in dairy production. No doubt the FFA and the passion of this young lady is taking her places.

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.”.
