This week members of our committee attended the FFA National Convention. I was impressed with the enthusiasm the FFA members had for the future of agriculture. They are prepared for the challenges they may face and determined to succeed. They are prepared to be a strong voice for our industry and they are not intimidated by groups like PETA OR HSUS. I am proud of these kids and their optimistic approach to having a bright future in agriculture. There is no doubt in my mind these kids will make a difference in informing our consumers about the great things U.S. agriculture is doing to safely feed the world, protect the environment and care for our animals.
