INTRODUCING KAYLA KUTZKE!
The great thing about the FFA is that it gives students many different ways to participate. And, if students live in town they can still find ways to raise and work with animals. Whether it is at the school's farm or with smaller animals in their backyards.
Our guest today, Kayla Kutzke, raises rolling pigeons and competes with them. This is something that she is able to do even from a back yard. And the expertise that she has developed with these birds has led her to be a state proficiency award winner. She has also received her American degree.
Kayla is now studying agricultural education at South Dakota State University, and she plans on returning to the classroom and sharing this passion with her future students.

Support FFA
Donate to FFA - One way that FFA students are able to start small businesses is through an FFA grant of $1,000. 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:
"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."
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack
