SHOW NOTES

INTRODUCING DAX DELOZIER!

Everyone knows that when you are young you are full of energy. We can all look back and wish that we still had the stamina and energy that we did when we were in high school. Finding an outlet for that energy is the challenge of both parents and school teachers. Putting a teenager in the FFA is a great way to come up with many opportunities that can help outlet that energy.

Today’s guest, Dax Delozier, is the son of an FFA advisor, a farmer and an entrepreneur. Through his time in the FFA and agriculture he has found outlets for this energy. Between raising beef cattle with his family, raising pigs on his own and selling show supplies from a trailer that he pulls to shows, Dax is staying very busy.

Dax’s energy led him to a 3rd place finish in his state’s 2020 proficiency awards in beef production. His roots in beef production runs deep, going all the way back to 1889 when his family homesteaded the land that he lives on today.

If all of this was not enough, Dax has his sights set on becoming a veterinarian and is working with a veterinarian whenever he can, to get experience. He is hoping to be off to veterinary school after a few years in college.

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:

“The future of American agriculture depends on the involvement and investment in America’s youth, In order to prepare for the population of tomorrow, we need to encourage America’s youth today, and show that careers in agriculture are profitable, rewarding, and vital.”.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue
