It All Started with a Chicken
Yes, my involvement in agriculture all started with one little chicken. Her name was Cluckens, and I got her by chance when the FFA chapter at my junior high school had extra birds going to the fair, and I signed up to exhibit one and participate in showmanship. Even though she only received a red ribbon and I did not win showmanship, my first county fair was just a precursor for what was to come for me in agriculture, and I was hooked. Not only did I have a prosperous youth career exhibiting poultry across the state, I gained countless experiences in FFA and later 4-H, relationships with many amazing people, a college major, and most importantly, a rewarding future career. It is because of one little chicken
