I created “The Profitable SAE Student Workbook” to help FFA Advisors teach marketing methods to their students and to help FFA Students succeed in their entrepreneurship SAE’s. I hope you find this product as beneficial as all of the interviews I conducted to create it were to me!
OFI 170: Developing Skills For Farming | FFA SAE Edition | Caleb Kubiak | Webberville High School FFA
SHOW NOTES
Introducing Caleb Kubiak!
Caleb Kubiak is growing his own soybeans for his supervised agricultural experience. He is getting started as a farmer and is learning a lot about how commodity prices impact the livelihood of this career.
Caleb said something to me that really stood out during the interview. I decided to make it the title of this episode. He talked about how he was taking classes and learning things specific to developing his skills as a farmer. So, as he goes forward into his life as a farmer he will have what it takes to make it. He talked about mechanics and other skills that will help him to keep the farm going.
I really admired his foresight and his determination. His vision is set, and he knows where he is going.
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
