OFI 1922: Balancing Cattle, The FFA And Athletics | FFA SAE Edition | Pepper Elmore | Kremlin-Hillsdale High School FFA

Pepper Elmore is the Chapter Reporter for the Kremlin FFA in Kremlin, Oklahoma. Knowing she wanted to be part of the FFA, when it came to join Pepper chose to go to school at Kremlin-Hillsdale, in spite of the fact that it is 45 minutes from her ranch, because her local school did not offer agriculture. Pepper is well versed in fitting, showing and husbandry of cattle through her families business of raising purebred Simmental Cattle.

Pepper is clearly a goal setter and she thinks long term. She has already identified the career that she wants to have after college of becoming a dual purpose chiropractor, working on both people and livestock. She also knows that she wants to run track in college, and she wants that place to be Oklahoma State University. With so many decisions already made, now it is just down to mapping out the path and following along. I think Pepper is in perfect position to make this all happen!

REASONS TO DONATE TO FFA:

Only 2% of Americans grow and raise most of the food and livestock consumed by the other 98% and the rest of the world. FFA provides the needed education, training, and resources to Americans to carry that torch forward and ensure 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 food search 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
