Brayden Ingram was born into the business of meat processing, and he and his cousins have been learning the business since an early age. Brayden began his time in meat processing by salting cow hides. Over time he has gained more and more responsibility. Today he can do almost any job at the business, but he is still limited in his meat cutting responsibilities. Brayden documented his time learning the business and improving in his skills through his SAE project, and this documentation led him to the national stage. Brayden is now looking at the meat processing industry for his future career. He sees himself working in an inspecting or grading role in a large facility at some point in the future.

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.”.
