OFI 382: How To Major In Hunting | FFA SAE Edition | Cordell Waggoner | Haven High School FFA

SHOW NOTES

INTRODUCING CORDELL WAGGONER!

Our guest today loves to hunt and loves to be around hunting.  When it comes to his future career he is the exception, not the rule.  He is the rare person who has known his passion since he was a young boy.  And, he is pursuing it to the fullest.

Cordell Waggoner is the hunter I am talking about.  What is so impressive about Cordell is that he found the FFA, and it gave him the perfect opportunity to do something for school that would further his involvement in hunting.  For his SAE he raises and sells pheasants for upland game hunting outfitters.

This business gave Cordell the idea that he could work in his passion as a career when he was done with school.  However, college was next, and what was he going to study that would make it even more possible for him to follow his passion?  After researching and thinking about how to make this work Cordell decided to major in tourism and hospitality management.  He has found the perfect major that will combine everything that he already knows about hunting with the ability to work with clients and provide them with great hunting experiences.

I love how Cordell was able to think outside the box and come up with a creative major to further his interests!

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.”
