OFI 082: Selling Sheep | FFA SAE Edition | Max Eells | Eastern Hancock High School FFA

SHOW NOTES

INTRODUCING MAX EELLS!

I’ve been looking forward to introducing you to Max Eells for a few weeks since I interviewed him.  He is growing his flock of sheep and making great strides in his business of selling 4H lamps.  Max is an extremely well spoken young man.  His SAE project is a great example of anyone interested in raising livestock, starting their own small flock and selling animals.

I hope you enjoy this interview with Max Eells.

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
