Description: SHOW NOTES INTRODUCING WYATT EMIG! Our guest today has a passion for plants, and he is building a business around that passion.  Wyatt Emig started growing plants in a single greenhouse a few years ago.  Now, he has expanded to two greenhouses and having an annual plant sale.  He describes the plant sale as very successful. Wyatt is learning all of the aspects of production, marketing and business with this project and he is an example to us all.  He is doing all of this while he is serving as his chapter's secretary as a junior in high school.

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."
