“Dale doesn’t like to be on slippery concrete. He’s different than any other pig I have had. I have been showing pigs for 5 years, my family raises pigs. I have a brother and sister who also show pigs. My grandparents raised pigs so I have been around them all my life. I really like showing pigs, but Dale is just different. He is amazing in the ring but he just doesn’t like to come back out to his pen. The first day I got here, he was walking to the scale and he fell because it was wet. He kept falling and I was afraid he was going to…

“I am just joining FFA mainly because I have agriculture interest. I haven’t grown up on a farm so this is a way for me to experience some of the agriculture activities. I know FFA will teach me some life skills. Good things come along with FFA like good friends and good times. I am thinking about going into the military but I have a while to worry about that.” #agriculture #FFA Behind the scenes with agri.CULTURE … @patreon.com/agriculturepeople

“I have been in FFA for two years. I like to participate in trap shooting, judging animals and tractor driving. All of those are a competition and I have done Ok in each. My favorite is trap shooting. My plans for the future are going to be taking over my family excavation business. I feel like FFA is getting me ready for the future and keeps me busy. I always have something to do.” #agriculture #FFA Behind the scenes with agri.CULTURE … @patreon.com/agriculturepeople

“I joined FFA in high school because I was taking shop class and I wanted to compete in the Metal Art competition. My favorite project I made in shop was a basalt column replica made completely out of metal. My goal was initially to pursue a career in welding, but my high school sweetheart and I decided to start a family at a young age. I am now a stay at home mom of a 2 year old boy and 4 year old girl.     I grew up on a farm, and since a young age I wanted to show livestock at the fair. My junior year I finally decided…

“From before I could remember, I was around animals of all kinds. I was on a horse before I could walk and always out with Dad helping him feed the cows. It was kind of my second home outside with the animals. Once I got into third grade, I jumped into 4-H. I started out showing sheep and was immediately hooked on showing. Dad really wanted me to get into showing cattle because it was what he knew. I chose to take a steer to the fair my third year showing and really enjoyed it. From there, I purchased a registered Black Angus heifer two years ago. I took her…

“This is my second year in FFA and I’m currently the Quincy FFA Chapter Treasurer. FFA has taken me all across the country and around the state. One of the coolest things I have got to do in the FFA is to travel to Indianapolis, Indiana in October of last year to represent the Washington FFA Association in the Hall of State Competition. Quincy won the Hall of Chapters competition in May at State Convention and then the opportunity to go to Nationals. The Hall of States allowed us to prepare a trade show booth to promote both Washington Agriculture and the Washington FFA to the 60,000 plus kids at the convention. We…

“I have been in FFA all 4 years of high school. Before that I was in 4-H. I show rabbits and horses and this year I am thinking about adding photography and possible baking in 4-H. In FFA there is a little bit more of a free rein than 4-H. FFA you have a project and you go and get it done on your own. I appreciate that they put more of the responsibility on you because it teaches you how it is in the real world. My favorite FFA project is horse judging, because I am passionate about horses. I plan on going to BBCC to get my AA…

“I have been here by this here owl for the past 32 years. Being an FFA Advisor is just about the best job there is.  You get to work in what I think is arguably our most important industry—Agriculture, with our most important resource—Kids. We just entered my favorite time of the year from the end of first semester until Mother’s Day.   It is when every FFA Advisor worth their salt is in an all-out sprint from that goes from the third Monday in January till the gavel taps out the final session of the State FFA Convention on the second Saturday in May. From now till then there will…

 “I am the current President of Quincy FFA chapter. I have been in FFA for almost four years now and I have enjoyed every second of it whether it’s from running meetings, showing at the fair, getting to know the members, and just having the opportunity to even be in the club. I’ve been around FFA ever since I was born with my FFA Advisor Dad, it’s always been close to me and I wouldn’t have I any other way. Every year I have had the opportunity to compete at State FFA Convention (except my 8th grade year) doing Parliamentary Procedure, meats evaluation, and livestock judging. This year I am…

“FFA projects that I do are Pigs and Steers. I have been showing pigs since I was in the third grade and I just started showing steers. I started in 4-H when I was younger and then joined FFA in my freshman year. I enjoy the fun trips that we have been able to go on and of course my friends. I know I am learning valuable skills that will help me throughout life. I enjoy the experience right now and look forward to the meetings and learning about livestock and judging. When I grow up I want to be a criminal psychologist so I can help people.” #agriculture #FFA…
