Show Notes
As you all know this show is all about entrepreneurship in agriculture. So, I almost never interview FFA students with placement SAE's except for American Star Finalists. Guests like Duncan Patton definitely make me rethink this strategy.
It seems like I run into this same puzzle each time it is American Star Interview Season. I come across a student who has risen to the top in agricultural placement, and I can see the extreme wisdom in what they have done. Duncan Patton definitely has this wisdom.
Duncan has been working on his family's farm since he was five years old, and that is right where he wants to be. However, he has also worked for a number of neighboring ranches and farms, learning a myriad of other skills. After high school, Duncan moved all the way to Ohio to study diesel technology, and while he was there he worked for a very large farming operation and learned about chickens and the different ways that farming gets done there.
During the interview, Duncan talked about these experiences.
