FFA Application Letter

All I have ever been known for is anything in association to agriculture. Growing up, I have always enjoyed the great outdoors. For as long as I can remember, I have been hunting and fishing and growing my agricultural knowledge through at home lessons and the FFA Organization.

"I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words, but of deeds." These famous words from "The FFA Creed" by E.M. Tiffany outline the basic beliefs of FFA members and agriculturists around the world. But these values, although crucial to the sustaining of our world's ever-increasing population, are growing more and more detached from the people not involved in agriculture. Although food and fiber production has increased in recent years, providing more bushels per acre and more meat per head of cattle, the agriculture industry has come under fire due to an overwhelming majority of people being totally disconnected from the agriculture industry. Today, we'll examine the primary causes of this disconnect, the negative effects on agriculture and our society as a whole that results from it, and how you can help solve this ever-growing problem.

In order to get a better understanding of the animal science discourse community, I reached out to a current graduate student at the University of California, Davis. I wanted to interview someone who was getting the experience of working within the community, but was also learning how the community communicates. When working within the department, individuals are to have in-depth knowledge on the study of animals. Without the knowledge, it would possibly be difficult to communicate with other individuals who are dedicating partial time of their lives in getting involved in the care of animals (Liza). That is for the reason that people within the community have a specific language, which they communicate through.

Through growing up on a family farm in a rural community I have been fortunate enough to fall in love with the agriculture sector. In discovering my passion for agriculture I have pursued a career as a Corn Specialist for AgriGold, of which we will be discussing throughout this essay. AgriGold is a company within the Agricultural Sector that in the past had solely focused on selling seed corn, but as we will discuss later they now offer soybeans and a technology platform. They are the 3rd largest seed corn company in the United States and their parent company is AgReliant Genetics located in Westfield, IN.

I have been raised on a dairy farm and my mom was also grew up on a dairy farm. My stepdad is a fourth generation dairy farmer and together my parents have taught me the sacrifice and hard work that goes into a farmer’s life. I am thankful for the privilege I have had in growing up on a farm and I want to help educate community members on the significance of our day to day dairy farmers and their contributions to society.

You might say you’re an animal lover but do you care for it? Faye Carey is teen activist who studies animals. Some things you could say about Faye is that she doesn’t quit at anything and that she’ll keep moving forward even when there’s tough situations to make. One example, is she manages to re-home more than sixty dogs. Here are some things I’ve learned about Faye and some things that you can learn from me!

I choose to pursue an agriculture degree because I have always felt drawn to the field. I have loved animals and felt a strong desire to care for them since I was a little girl. Animals mean the world to me and when they’re doing well, my heart can rest. I absolutely love farm animals and fully intend to have my own sort of miniature zoo on a hobby farm. During high school I was in FFA and 4H and thoroughly enjoyed showing chickens and rabbits. I started out as a biology major at Dixie State but did not find satisfaction because there were no animal science courses available, but I was unable to leave my family and live elsewhere so I remained unhappy.

As a student of the veterinary science program at CSU will undergo specialist training in veterinary science and its associated disciplines, I can

I am currently doing NC Animal Care and i'm loving it. I am particularity interested in Anatomy and Physiology and I love the practical classes. I would adore the opportunity to further myself and dig deeper into how to interact and care for animals. I did 2 weeks of work experience in 2014 at pets at home and i am currently looking into volunteering abroad next summer. I am passionate about my education and about being the best i can be. I want to be qualified so i can work in animal conservation and try to make a really change in the way the public see

Hello everyone. My name is Saniyah Foster and I am currently enrolled in introduction to speech at Columbia College. Growing up my family has always taught me to be kind to animals and we were surrounded by many of them throughout my childhood. Being a lover of animals I’ve always supported the efforts of organizations fighting for the lives of animals.

I do not have any experience in health care or veterinary medicine. A hobby that I feel like helped me gain skills that could easily transfer over to helping animals would have to be helping out at my local elementary school with the young children. Children and animals are alike in that they make noise when they want something, love attention, and enjoy being praised when they have done something good. They are different in the fact that children can verbalize with words what they want while animals can only make sounds to try and show you what they want. I have personally first hand seen how much joy and happiness animals can bring to society as the local elementary school has had dogs come in and listen to the students read to them causing the students to not feel any pressure or worry. I heard about Black Hawk College’s Veterinary Sciences program through Black Hawk’s website and word of mouth. Just knowing the basics about taking care of animals and children can really help me succeed. By completing this course, I hope to gain a deeper insight into Veterinary Medicine and helping animals thrive as best as I

Growing up on a third generation beef and crop farm has helped me gain a love of agriculture. Since I was a child I have been helping out the farm and have had a love of agriculture ever since. I currently own four of my own beef cows and each year I raise the calves to sell in the fall. My future dream is to take over the family farm after I finish college, as well as work as an agricultural loan officer. In high school I joined FFA. This organization truly changed my perspective on Agricultural as a whole. It made me realize

I’ve always known my path in life, ever since I was a little girl. My mind constantly revolved around one idea; working with animals. Nobody knew better than I that this was my fate, my purpose. I dreamt of being able to work alongside a variety of creatures, no matter the species; I’m not afraid of much. My biggest opportunity came to me in the late spring of 2017. It was like I was given a gift by the gods themselves; I was chosen to volunteer at the zoo.

A degree which I am confident that your institution would be willing to bestow on deserving students. Given your university's well accredited degree in Veterinary Science, at the same time with the chance to explore Australian cities and outback, it became a very clear choice. I believe in educational equality and I am also a believer of your institution’s diversity and dynamics, which like me, is continually aiming for

Beginning in the 4th grade, I was fortunate enough to become involved in exhibiting livestock. This early exposure to livestock played an integral role in my desire to become a veterinarian. Daily care for the animals include
