Listen now
Description
This week we travel back to Indiana for the 2021 Future Farmers of America National Convention. There we met up with our good friends from the American Boer Goat Association, who loaned us a couple of roving reporters  from the Junior ABGA, Logan and Alaina. They interviewed FFA Star Farmer Emily Acevedo from Bradford FFA in Florida who says her agriscience journey started in the sixth grade when her show goat unexpectedly gave birth at the Florida State Fair. Next up Elara spoke with Nate Perry, Managing Director for Hopper Institute for Ag Studies, Huntington University and Jesse Kimmel ABGA member and Adjunct Professor at Huntington University.
