OFI 074: Brothers In Farms | FFA SAE Edition | Michael & Paul Kotarski | John Hardin High School FFA

SHOW NOTES

INTRODUCING MICHAEL AND PAUL KOTARSKI!

Michael & Paul Kowarski are brothers, and they both attend John Hardin High School in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.  Michael is a senior and Paul is a sophomore.  They both work on a farm in a placement and specialty animal production SAE.  Each of these young men have aspirations for public service.  I joked with them that at some point when one of them is president and another is the chairmen of the joints chief of staff, I will have been the first person to have interviewed them.  But in all seriousness, these are two very well spoken and polite young men.

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
