INTRODUCING TRENT THOMAS!
Trent Thomas is both a state and national proficiency winner. He accomplished this through a family farming tradition and a passion for agriculture. Specifically, Trent focused on poultry production through his families operation in Goshen, Alabama.
On Trent’s farm they raise row crops, cattle as well as chickens. They have chickens in their barns year round, and Trent saw the opportunity to use this aspect of their farm as his supervised agricultural experience.
Trent is a humble young man, and he said something at the end of the interview that inspired the title of this episode. Trent said, “if a farm kid from little old Goshen, Alabama can become a national proficiency winner than anyone can”. Trent is definitely humble, but he is also definitely an inspiration to other FFA students wanting to excel!
