SHOW NOTES
If You Are Going To Show Cattle, You Will Need A Good Show Stick:
INTRODUCING RAEGAN KLAASSEN!
Raegan comes to us from Hydro, Oklahoma. She has a very interesting supervised agricultural experience. In addition to her showing cattle for several years, she now has her own herd of first-calf heifers. Her father, who is also her FFA advisor, got her started with this herd as a way of saving and paying for college in four years.
When Raegan is not working with her cattle, she is farming. The primary crop she grows is usually a grain. In the off-season she plants black eyed peas as a cover crop. However, she has found a market for the peas, so she is able to make revenue off of the ground she farms, twice per year. I loved this concept of not just planting a cover crop, but planting one that has market value.

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
