SHOW NOTES

Introducing Sarah Jane St. Michelle:

Today’s guest is going to talk about breeding and selling dogs.  She specifically raises and sells Havanese dogs.  Sarah has found a way to raise animals that she loves in her home and provide wonderful companions to people in her community.

Havanese dogs are the companions for more and more people all the time.  There are a total of three of these dogs in our extended family, and they have become part of the family.

I really appreciate what Sarah is learning through this SAE.  Not only is she taking care of the animals, but she is learning to speak with customers, price her product and sell.  What a great project!

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
