SHOW NOTES
INTRODUCING PARKER ALLEN!
There is a lot I liked about my interview with Parker Allen. It's funny how the little things that indicate future success start to jump out at you over time. I interviewed a gentleman about trapping a couple of years ago. His name was Clint Locklear. He had become quite a big name in trapping. Since then whenever I speak with somebody even interested in trapping, I tell them about Clint.
When I asked Parker about Clint, he knew just who he was and could tell me all about him. This was a clear indication that Parker had a passion for what he was doing, and he was spending his free time researching, studying and learning about his chosen vocation. This is a clear indication that if he sticks with it, he will be among the best.

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
