Description: SHOW NOTES INTRODUCING COLEBY HAYMAKER! After 400+ episodes and interviews on this show, clear themes start to emerge.  One of the strongest themes that I have come across throughout all of these interviews is how parents and extended family instill work ethic into their kids. I don't think this is written about anywhere, and there certainly is not a guide book.  However, it is clear that through old fashioned common sense, which is pretty common on farms and ranches, that families from all over the country realize that if their kids have to work for what they get they don't take it for granted. Our guest today is just more proof of this concept.  Coleby Haymaker has risen to the top of the FFA with his custom hay cutting business.  He told me that to get started his father allowed him to use his equipment in exchange for labor.  I asked Coleby if his father wanted him to succeed, and he said yes.  I asked him why his father would not just give him use of the equipment for free if that were the case.  His response was that his father knew that if he had to work for the use of it, he would appreciate it more and do a better job. This is just simple country wisdom, but I see this over and over among the top farmers and business owners in the FFA.

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."
