INTRODUCING BAILEY IACOVETTO!
Bailey Iacovetto is a hard worker, always busy and loving every minute of it. She lives on her families ranch in northwest Colorado. They host agritourism customers during every season of the year and Bailey is constantly working and engaged in this business.
In the summer Bailey is guiding people on trail rides and taking them on cattle round ups. When fall hits she is guiding elk hunters on the ranch, field dressing animals and taking care or hunters. Then, in winter she finds herself teaching people how to snow mobile and taking them out on rides. The spring offers more traditional ranch work. There are less customers but it is calving and branding season. All year long she is in engaged in a life that is just a dream for many people, and she finds to time to serve as her chapter's president as well!

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.”.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue
