COLLEGE
With the opportunities FFA has given me, I’m able to take one of my SAEs and continue my own company, Carter Auctions and Real Estate.
MAJOR
N/A
My SAE consists of diversified agriculture, growing corn and soybeans and a cow-calf operation. I own 20 head of cows. I also have a entrepreneurship SAE of my own auction company, Carter Auctions and Real Estate, as well as a placement SAE with Montgomery County Livestock where I am a contract auctioneer.
I wanted to serve as a Missouri FFA State Officer so that I could continue my FFA journey and continue to advocate for agriculture in the state of Missouri. I also want traditional farm FFA members to be represented and advocated for at the state level.
I want my legacy to be one of hard work and dedication. A legacy of whatever you put your mind to, you can accomplish no matter the struggles you have had. And the legacy that if we stand for American agriculture, we can make the country and the world a better place.
My plans for the future are to continue my SAE of Carter Auction and Real Estate, as well as my cow-calf operation. I want to grow them to the point that they will be my full-time job and I will be doing what I love.
My advice to FFA members is to take every opportunity FFA has to offer. Even if it’s one you might not think you would like, you never know what will come of it. Try everything. You have four short years in this amazing organization, so make the most of them.
