OFI 1749: What Is The National FFA Style Squad | FFA SAE Edition | Sadie Rola | Turlock Christian High School FFA

Sadie Rola has just graduated from Turlock Christian High School, just completed her term as her FFA Chapter’s Reporter and just completed her term as a National FFA Style Squad Member. What is the National FFA Style Squad? Well, if you don’t know, I didn’t know either. However, I certainly do after conducting this interview with Sadie.

Sadie and I have very similar pathways that led us into agriculture, and she is going down a very similar path in the exact same place, that I did at her age. It is always amazing to me how when a person who has no agricultural background gets introduced to agriculture and its positive aspects, how that can bring them right into the profession. That is one of the great things about how the FFA is reaching students from neighborhoods more and more. We are getting more and more young people interested in agriculture. In today’s interview, Sadie will explain exactly how that worked for her.

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
