Introducing Wade Reiter! 

Wade Reiter is a very impressive young man who is positive that he wants to farm.  When I asked him if he wants to continue farming in his future, there was no doubt in his voice.  He had an adamant “yes” for me.

Wade has been progressively getting more and more responsibility on his family’s farm in Southern Virginia.  He has gone from doing basic work to progressively driving larger tractors to marketing his family’s hay for them.  Wade took his forage production capabilities to Indianapolis this year for the FFA National Convention, and he was recognized as the national champion in forage production!

I hope you enjoy getting to know Wade Reiter.

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
