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 149: How Much To Lease That Heifer? | FFA SAE Edition | Cameron Saxton | Fairmont High School FFA

SHOW NOTES

Introducing Cameron Saxton! 

I really enjoyed getting to know Cameron in this interview.  He is doing some great things in FFA like serving as an officer, winning SAE Grants, etc.  Then he told me something that I was not expecting that I really liked.  He is creating opportunities for students who live in town and do not have the ability to raise cattle, to work with and show cows.

Cameron is leasing cattle to students from town where he lives.  He does a large proportion of the work for the students like feeding, etc.  And, when the students are able, they come to Cameron’s place and work with cattle.  Cameron is already acting as an ambassador for agriculture and exposing people to livestock who might never have had the chance otherwise!

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
