SHOW NOTES

If You Are Going To Fit Your Market Goats, You Will Need Good Clippers:

INTRODUCING JOHN GORE!

John comes to us from Eatonton, Georgia.  He is a junior in high school and serving as his chapter’s president this year.  John raises and sells market goat for his supervised agricultural experience.  He is primarily raising Boer’s, but he is also experimenting the the Kiko breed.  He hopes to support other FFA students as well as 4H members in their desires to show goats by selling them good show stock.

I hope you enjoy getting to know John Gore.

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.”
