Description: SHOW NOTES INTRODUCING CLAYTON KECK! One of the fun parts about getting to interview farm kids is that every now and then you run across a young man or woman who sounds mature well beyond their years.  Today's guest, Clayton Keck, is exactly that person.  Clayton is 20 and now running his own auction business, Dacotah Diamond Auctions.  To speak with him is to speak with a person who has all the self confidence and knowledge of a person generations older than him who has been in the ball game for many years. Acutally, Clayton has been in the ball game for many years.  He started selling used equipment while he was still in high school and marketing it to people creatively. After he finished high school he knew exactly what he was going to do, and he went to an auctioneering school to learn about the business and to developed his "chant". Now Clayton is running his own business, marketing the used equipment he always sold to a wider array of customers and winning proficiency awards.  Clayton was a state proficiency award winner as well as a national finalist.

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."
